Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 7: Knowledge and Realization

Bhagavad Gita 7.2

jñānaṃ te'haṃ savijñānamidaṃ vakṣyāmyaśeṣataḥ | yajjñātvā neha bhūyo'nyajjñātavyamavaśiṣyate ||

I will explain to you in full this knowledge together with its realization. Once it is known, nothing more remains to be known here.

Modern context

Krishna promises two things together: jnana, knowledge, and vijnana, its realization. The first is what can be learned and explained. The second is what is known by direct experience. A person can know all about swimming and still not be able to swim. Both are needed. Knowledge without realization stays in the head, and experience without understanding can be misread. Krishna says that once this is known, nothing else is left to know, because it is knowledge of the source of everything else.
