Only one who has reached this state of experience can be a jñāni. One who has written himself the name ‘I am a jñāni’ is a jñāni in name, but in experience he is an ajñāni. To know That, after knowing which nothing more remains to be known: that is the greatness of the jñāni. It is not that a man gets himself called a jñāni merely by learning a few ślokas by heart, cramming a few books, picking up a good saying here and there from his elders, joining the crowd, climbing onto a stage and lecturing on how he knows everything, bringing it all up again like rice he has eaten, or merely by gathering a handful of people into a band of disciples. Such great souls are many in today's Kali age: ochre in their dress, butchers in their hearts. If one wants to make stones shine like gems, is that possible? Not every stone is a gem. Will stones fetch the price paid for gems? If anyone were to pay as much for stones, he would be the greatest of fools. It would only show that he had never seen either stones or gems.
20ఇట్టి అనుభవస్థితిని పొందినవాడే జ్ఞాని కాగలడు కానీ, తనకు తాను ‘నేను జ్ఞాని’ అని పేరు వ్రాసుకొన్న అతను పేరుకు జ్ఞానే కానీ అనుభవమున అజ్ఞాని.21ఇట్టి చిల్లర జ్ఞానులు బయలుదేరుదురనే కృష్ణపరమాత్మ గీతలో మహా మంత్రరాజమైన “వాసుదేవస్సర్వం” అను పవిత్ర మహోపదేశమును అందించినాడు.20 to 21
