What is Perfect Knowledge? ( Back , Next )

The world today operates on an contrived knowledge base. There are far too many blind spots or knowledge gaps that we asked to ignored. There is general reluctance to scrutinize the true workings of the world, and the convenience the 'unknown' provides is exploited to the hilt by creating a free-for-all-thinking realm, resulting in trivialization of pursuit and abandonment. The short-lived bliss of this ideology which we have termed the 'philosophy of ignorance' is that it free you from 'work to secure an unseen future' nevertheless, it sends you packing to your next life and quickly enough, on a suspected negative balance. Perfect knowledge cuts through the quagmire of the contrived knowledge base and presents you with a complete knowledge template of the workings of the world. The protagonist goes through life wholly enjoying its available pleasures and the end, is fully prepared for the next.

Where does one find such knowledge?

Perfect knowledge cannot be sourced from just anywhere. One has to ensure that what is sourced is not a speculative derivative or is compromised in any way. A complete template of Perfect Knowledge is available in a purely philosophical format in the Bhagavad-Gita and is recognized as such all over the world.

Wouldn't this make it sectarian?

Certainly not. What is delineated here is technically called JAIVA DHARMA. Jaiva dharma is the model 'career graph' of any and every living entity. Essentially, Jaiva dharma has a purely philosophical base. It does not take a single step that is not supported by logical thinking. For example, it says, 'you are not this body; you are a spiritual being.' It is like telling a fish struggling on land, "Hello fish, are you aware that you are a fish? you belong in water; and it's best that you find your way to a nice cool pond right away!" Just like a fish suffers terribly out of water, all our problems can be trace to the fact that we are not in our natural settings.

We are primarily pleasure seekers; we incessantly seek pleasure. That is our real nature. Unfortunately, this world is diabolically wired. All the pleasures available here are intentionally enmeshed with miseries. Thus, in our blind pursuit for pleasure we manage to take home 90 % of misery. Jaiva dharma is the science (often called Science of Self-Realization), that help serious students realize: 'I am spiritual being.' Having realized this, it automatically makes him eligible to be elevated to the superior spiritual world (analogous to the cool pond for the fish).

Incidentally, this ideology was propounded by the Greek philosopher Plato as well. Except, instead of fish, he uses the analogy of men trapped in a dark cave and striving to escape into the outside world of light. Those who consider all this an outdated utopian concept, deludes themselves. They ought to ask themselves has death become outdated?

How does subscribing to this ideology help develop morality?

In essence, this pathway requires one to elevate oneself to the platform of pure goodness. This cannot but percolate into all aspects of ones life.
