TRANSLATION In this world,
there is nothing so sublime and pure as transcendental knowledge. Such
knowledge is the mature fruit of all mysticism. And one who has achieved
this enjoys the self with himself in due course of time.
PURPORT When we speak
of transcendental knowledge, we do so in terms of spiritual understanding.
As such, there is nothing so sublime and pure as transcendental knowledge.
Ignorance is the cause of our bondage, and knowledge is the cause of our
liberation. This knowledge is the mature fruit of devotional service, and
when one is situated in transcendental knowledge, he need not search for
peace elsewhere, for he enjoys peace within himself. In other words, this
knowledge and peace are culminated in Krsna consciousness. That is the
last word in the Bhagavad-gita.
