Part IV: Spiritual Knowledge.1421
thy chain—wait in patience and confidence, for lo! suddenly at thy hand,
shalt come that which thou needest. And having acquired this wisdom, O
Prince, thou shalt be freed from confusion, misunderstanding and error; for
by means of this Wisdom shalt thou know all beings as in the One Life, and
thus in Me.
“Though thou hath been the greatest of sinners, yet even thou shalt be
carried over the sea of error upon the boat of Truth. As the flame reduceth
the wood to ashes which are borne away by the wind, so shalt the fire
of Truth convert into ashes the result of the evil actions which thou hast
committed in ignorance and error. Verily, in the world, there is no purifying
agent like unto the Flame of Spiritual Truth. And he who acquireth it findeth
himself purged of the dross of Personality and in time findeth the Real Self.
“He that hath great faith, that mastereth the Personal Self and its senseattachments—hath
attained Wisdom, and is on the path to the Supreme
Peace. But the ignorant and those of little faith, find not even the beginning
of the path. Without faith there is no happiness or peace, neither in this
world nor the next.
“Free from the bonds of action is that man who by means of Spiritual
Knowledge hath attached himself to Wisdom and thus torn asunder the
illusion of doubt—he indeed is Free.
“Then rise in thy might, O Arjuna, Prince of the Pandus, seize thy bright
and gleaming sword of Spiritual Wisdom, and cut thou, with one strong
sweep of thy blade, the bonds of doubt and unbelief which confine thy
mind and heart. Arise, O Prince, and perform thine appointed action!”
thus endeth part iv, of the bhagavad gita, which part is called
“spiritual knowledge.”
