Krishna makes an absolute, superlative statement about the nature of this knowledge. He declares: In this entire world (iha), there is absolutely nothing (na hi vidyate) that is as sublime, purifying, and sacred (pavitram) as transcendental knowledge (jñānena sadṛśaṃ). He then explains how one actually acquires it: A person who has become perfected and accomplished in the practice of Yoga (yoga-saṃsiddhaḥ) will naturally, in due course of time (kālena), find and enjoy this knowledge automatically within their own self (tat svayaṃ ātmani vindati).
