Just because people have knowledge of the immanence of Divine, and even of His transcendence, they cannot be honoured as people of wisdom (jnanis), for knowledge has to be digested through actual experience. This is the crucial test. It’s not enough if the intellect nods approval and is able to prove that Godhead is all. That belief must penetrate and prompt every moment of living and every act of the believer. Wisdom shouldn’t be merely a bundle of thoughts or a packet of neatly constructed principles. Faith must enliven and enthuse every thought, word, and deed. The self must be soaked in the nectar of spiritual wisdom. The intellect is a poor instrument, for what the intellect approves as correct today is rejected tomorrow by the same intellect on second thought! Intellect cannot judge things finally and for all time! Therefore, seek the experience. Once that experience is won, Atma can be understood “as all this”. That’s Jnana-yoga of wisdom!
