Bhagavad Gita BG 7.2
Chapter 7, Verse 2 — Meaning, Translation & Explanation
ज्ञानं तेऽहं सविज्ञानं इदं वक्ष्याम्यशेषतः । यज्ज्ञात्वा नेह भूयोऽन्यज् ज्ञातव्यमवशिष्यते ॥
jnanam te 'ham savijnanam idam vakshyamy asheshatah yaj jnatva neha bhuyo 'nyaj jnatavyam avashishyate
Meaning
I shall teach you completely both jnana and vijnana — knowing which, nothing further remains here to be known.
Understanding
The ultimate promise of this chapter: jnana (theoretical, scriptural knowledge of the truth) AND vijnana (direct experiential/realized knowledge) — both, asheshatah (completely, without remainder). Yaj jnatva (knowing which) — neha bhuyo anyat jnatavyam avashishyate — nothing further remains to be known here. The ultimate knowledge. Not 'you will know a lot' but 'nothing will remain unknown.' The totality claim of the supreme teaching.
