400-1LA-3-70BG-7:1the sunshine is notdifferent, still, when you realize what issunshine,that does not mean you realize what is the sun disc.This is very practical. To understand what is sunshine does notmean to understand what is sun disc. You can have some idea:"Thesun disc is also light,These ideas you can get,and it has got heat. It is illuminating."but not exactly what is the temperatureof that sun disc, how you can live there. There are so manythings to learn. Therefore, impersonal Brahman, understanding ofimpersonal Brahman, is not perfect knowledge. Exactly • • •Knowledge of sunshine is not perfect knowledge of sun. That youcan understand very easily. Suppose daily you are having sunshinewithin your room. Does it mean you know what is sun disc or whatis the inhabitants of the sun globe? No. Nobody knows.Similarly, impersonal knowledge of the Absolute Truth is likethat. That is not complete knowledge. Although it is light,sunshine is also light, sun disc is also light and theinhabitants there, they also must be light. Otherwise, how canthey live? They also must be fiery. Because the inhabitantsthere, they are also fiery, without being fire how you can livein fire? Sun is fire; everyone knows it. The temperature is veryhigh. So one,without having a body suitable to that temperature,how they can live there? But there are living entities. That wehave got. Because you cannot live in the water, that does notmean there is no living entity in the water. This is nonsense.So if we similarly conclude,"Because we cannot live in the fire,therefore there is no living entity in the fire, " that isnonsense. The exact knowledge is at least to accept this2
