Krishna, God, the Supreme Person says:

“Of all that is luminous, the Supreme Soul (also called the Holy Spirit) is the source of light. It is unmanifest, It remains beyond the darkness of matter. It is knowledge, the object of knowledge and the goal of knowledge. It lives in everyone's heart”.

“I stand in the heart of each being, and from Me come memory, knowledge and forgetfulness. I am the goal of all. The Vedas [the original holy scriptures] is to know Me. In truth, it is I who composed the Vedanta [the summit, the conclusion of knowledge, the essence of Vedic philosophy (of the Vedas)], and I am the one who knows the Vedas”.

“Because you never envy Me, I will reveal to you the most secret wisdom, by which you will be freed from the sufferings of material existence”.

“This knowledge is king between all sciences. It is the secret of secrets, the purest knowledge, and because it directly makes us realize our true identity, represents the perfection of spiritual life. It is imperishable, and of joyful application”.

“What I reveal to you now is the most secret part of the Vedic scriptures. Whoever understands the content will know wisdom, and his efforts will lead him to perfection”.

“I gave this imperishable science, the science of union and communion with the Supreme (God), to Vivasvan, the heavenly being of the sun, and Vivasvan taught it to Manu, the father of the humanity, and Manu taught it to Iksvaku. Supreme knowledge passed from master to disciple, this is how the holy kings received and realized it. But over time the disciplinary succession has broken down, and this science in its state of purity, now seems lost”.

“Nothing in this world is as pure and sublime as absolute knowledge. Ripe fruit of union with the Divine Being. Whoever possesses it finds joy in himself at the right time. The man of faith bathed in absolute knowledge, master of his senses, soon experiences the highest spiritual peace”.

“Even if you were the vilest of fishermen, once you have embarked on the vessel of spiritual knowledge, you will cross the ocean of suffering. Similar to the blazing fire that converts wood into ash, the blaze of knowledge reduces to ashes all the consequences of material actions”.

“The knowledge that the scriptures reveal on My Person is most secret, and it requires to be realized by the simultaneous practice of the service of devotion. Lend
