My Personal Gita
Constancy in Self-knowledge, and viewing things with the aim of knowing the Reality—all this is declared to be conducive to true knowledge, and what is opposed to this is conducive to wrong knowledge.
Constant yearning for the knowledge of Self, and pondering over the lessons of the great Truth - this is Wisdom, all else ignorance.
Constant contemplation on the knowledge pertaining to the self, reflection for the attainment of knowledge of the truth - this is declared to be knowledge, and what is contrary to it is ignorance.
Steadfastness in the knowledge of the Self, contemplation on the Goal of the knowledge of Reality-this is spoken of as Knowledge. Ignorance is that which is other than this.
Constancy in Self-knowledge, perception of the end of true knowledge–this is declared to be knowledge, and what is opposed to it is ignorance.
