ज्ञानं तेऽहं सविज्ञानमिदं वक्ष्याम्यशेषतः ।

यज्ज्ञात्वा नेह भूयोऽन्यज्ज्ञातव्यमवशिष्यते ॥7.2॥

            “I will now explain to you this complete knowledge of both the visible and invisible worlds, after knowing which nothing further remains to be known. This knowledge itself contains everything that needs to be understood.”

Context of the Verse:

• As per the Bhagavad Gita structure, this verse appears at the start of Chapter 7 called Gyana-Vigyana Yoga. Regarding the content, Krishna gives Arjuna higher spiritual knowledge in this section.
• After encouraging Arjuna through karma, devotion, and discipline in earlier chapters, Krishna now surely reveals the highest wisdom that combines both theoretical knowledge and practical realization. Moreover, this supreme teaching integrates complete understanding of both spiritual concepts and their direct experience.
• Moreover, Krishna explains that once Arjuna understands this teaching, we are seeing that no mystery will remain for him to discover. This knowledge only will make everything clear to him.

Key Teachings in This Verse:

• Twofold Knowledge:

1. Gyana: Theoretical knowledge that comes from scriptures and texts. This knowledge itself requires further practical application to become complete understanding.
2. Vigyana: the understanding that comes only from direct experience and realization.

• Complete Revelation : Krishna surely promises to explain everything comprehensively without hiding any details. Moreover, he assures that his teaching will be complete and thorough.
• Ultimate Sufficiency: Basically, once you understand this wisdom, you don’t need to search for anything else—it’s the same as reaching the highest level of spiritual knowledge.
• Union of Knowledge and Experience: As per spiritual understanding, truth is not only for intellectual knowledge but must be lived and directly experienced regarding real realization.

Relevance to Arjuna:

• Arjuna finds himself confused about his duty and dharma, and he further struggles to understand the true nature of the self.
• As per Krishna’s assurance, the teaching he will give regarding dharma will clear away all doubts from Arjuna’s mind.
• We are seeing that for Arjuna, this knowledge is not only about theory—it directly helps his struggle because it brings together understanding of God, the world, and what he must do.

Explanation:

            We are seeing that knowledge has only two main types. There are basically two different kinds of knowledge that exist. One is called Gyanam, and the other one is called Vigyanam. These two concepts further represent different types of knowledge itself. We are seeing two types of knowledge only – knowledge of the world we can experience and knowledge of the world beyond our senses. As per philosophical understanding, phenomenal refers to things we can experience through our senses, while noumenal means things as they truly exist beyond our perception. Regarding this distinction, phenomenal is what appears to us and noumenal is the real nature of things. Phenomena are surely the things we observe in our world around us. Moreover, they represent how we see and experience reality through our observations. As per Immanuel Kant’s philosophy, there are two parts of existence – one that we see and one that really exists, and both may not be the same. These terms are used regarding this idea that what we perceive and what actually is can be different.

            Basically, when we see water in the desert, it is the same phenomena that creates optical illusions. Our eyes provide us knowledge that we are seeing water itself. This further confirms what we observe through vision. This is further known as Gyanam itself. But what is Vigyanam itself, and what further happens in scientific knowledge? As per physics principles, this phenomenon is called total internal reflection of light. Regarding this process, light gets completely reflected back when it hits the boundary at a specific angle. Moreover, actually, it is definitely just light reflecting in the air. This creates what we see but nothing solid is really there. As per our observation, we can see water regarding this matter.

            We definitely need to understand all the knowledge we actually receive through our senses and mind. This is similar to how we must grasp everything we perceive around us. We are seeing this point again because it is only very important to understand this properly. Our senses surely act like small windows in a room, providing only limited views of the world around us. Moreover, these windows restrict our complete understanding of reality. We are seeing what is outside our house through that window only. This window is the only way we can look at things beyond our home.

            Basically, when somebody asks us to describe our city, we need to explain the same features and characteristics of our place. Basically, we can only describe what we see from our room’s window – the same limited view from where we are sitting. We can never know the real and full nature of the city, and from that window, if we are seeing mirage, then whatever we are seeing is only illusion. These senses are actually similar in the same way. They definitely follow the same pattern. These elements surely act as windows into the very essence of existence. Moreover, they provide clear glimpses into the fundamental nature of life itself. For a blind person, shapes or colors actually do not exist in their experience. They definitely cannot perceive these visual elements. We are seeing that a person with no touch sensation can only never experience any kind of touch in their life. For a person who actually cannot taste anything, taste definitely does not exist for him.

            Basically, if a person cannot taste anything, then taste is the same as non-existent for them. When all senses stop working only, we are seeing that a person cannot see, cannot hear, and cannot touch anything. For such a person, the world itself does not exist, but this is not the actual fact. Further, this remains only their personal experience and not reality. As per observation, the world exists with all its beauty, colors, fragrances, tastes and touch feelings, but regarding the senses, they are not working properly.

            As per this understanding, a person inside the room should not be overconfident regarding his opinions about what he sees through the window. Basically, this shows a narrow understanding of the world, and at worst, everything becomes the same illusion. From his window, he surely sees only mirages. Moreover, these false visions completely block his view of reality. This claim is surely false, so one can never truly know what is actually happening in the noumenal world. Moreover, the real nature of things beyond our experience remains completely hidden from us. Science is surely the systematic study of the natural world through observation and experimentation. Moreover, it helps us understand how things work and solve practical problems in our daily lives. Science surely means understanding things as they truly are, but current scientific research also bases its methods on knowledge gained through our senses. Moreover, these sensory windows become the foundation for how we gather and interpret scientific information. We are seeing that we can only tell what we perceive, but the real nature of things we shall never know. How can we actually understand what things really are? We definitely need to look beyond surface appearances to grasp their true nature.

            We can surely never understand the true nature of things. Moreover, this reality will always remain hidden from us. Basically, how do we find out what things are really like? It’s the same question of understanding the true nature of everything around us. As per the analysis, there is only one way regarding knowing this matter. Also, basically, knowledge comes only when the creator gives the same. Basically, I have created your body, mind and senses – the same way everything is made. This is surely how you perceive the world around you. Moreover, this process shapes your entire understanding of reality. We are seeing that this only is the real situation of our world.

            Further, we are seeing how we have created it only. There is actually no other method to know this thing. We definitely cannot find any different way to understand it. As per spiritual understanding, a person cannot progress regarding higher consciousness unless they reach the platform of Knowledge. Basically, where is the happiness question coming from? It’s the same thing – there is no real question about happiness here. We are seeing that animals die only while chasing water in desert areas, but they never get the water. Similarly, we are seeing that people are dying while chasing happiness in this world, but they only never get it.

           As per the current analysis, the situation is not much different regarding the previous conditions. Animals surely do not question the truth of what they see, like whether water in the desert is real or just an illusion. Moreover, they simply accept their perceptions without any doubt or analysis. Similarly, if we do not question whether true happiness exists in this material world, we will further keep dying repeatedly without finding the satisfaction our heart itself seeks. As per academic requirements, actual knowledge regarding truth is important for this purpose. Basically, it’s about what is there and what is not there – the same question of existence and non-existence. Also, basically, real happiness comes from inner peace and contentment, while illusory happiness is the same temporary pleasure we get from external things like money or status. Krishna will actually explain the knowledge of both worlds – the material world we see around us and definitely the spiritual world that supports it.
