Bhagavad-gītā Retreat, November 2016
***
It is easy to see and know a seed, it is not so easy a tree, being so large and complex, thus harder to know the whole.
Knowing the whole may be difficult, knowing the core easy.
A Realized knows the seed.
Jñāna – seed, Eternal Truth
Vijñāna – tree, its evolution, the manifestation of the Eternal Truth
Knowledge of the Eternal Truth – jñāna; knowledge of the remaining Universe – vijñāna; together, support human being’s path to Realization
“Here (in the tree) the seed will vanish and the tree will be found, where is the seed? It has entered the whole tree, it will be there in energy form. To see the seed we have to wait for the tree to grow, to again see it in seed form. With the seed as the Eternal Truth, this is not the case. The Eternal Truth permeates everything, always.”
Seed form is jñāna, evolution is vijñāna. If one knows both, then one is considered to have Full knowledge.
Having understood these two nothing more need be understood.
