22. Types of Knowledge

22. Types of Knowledge


Knowledge is of three types:

1. Material Knowledge

(Bahaya Dnyan) of the external: comprises knowledge pertaining
to worldly matters (affairs of the world), gained naturally or
acquired through study. This knowing is ignorance of Ignorance.

2. Spiritual Knowledge

(Antar Dnyan) of the internal: comprises the spiritual experiences
of the Subtle Planes and of the Mental Planes. Experiencing the
Subtle Planes is ignorance of Knowledge. Experiencing the
Mental Planes is knowledge of Ignorance. The inner experiences
of the Subtle Planes may be said to be divine hallucination; while
the inner experiences of the Mental Planes may be said to be a
spiritual nightmare of longing for Union with God. Inner
experiences end in Divine Awakening.
  

3. Divine Knowledge

(Brahma Dnyan) of Godhood: is God's own Infinite Knowledge.
This is knowledge of the Knowledge.
Bahaya Dnyan is mastered by a very few.
Antar Dnyan is mastered by a very, very few.
Brahma Dnyan is attained by a rare one.
The Brahma-Dnyani is All-knowing and All-knowledge, for He has
become the Source of Knowledge and is Knowledge Itself.
