Bhagavad Gita on Wisdom

BG 4.33

श्रेयान्द्रव्यमयाद्यज्ञाज्ज्ञानयज्ञः परन्तप।

Superior is wisdom-sacrifice to the sacrifice with objects, O Parantapa (scorcher of the foes). All actions in their entirety, O Arjuna, culminate in knowledge.

BG 4.34

तद्विद्धि प्रणिपातेन परिप्रश्नेन सेवया।

Know that the wise who have realized the truth will instruct thee in that knowledge through long prostration, supplication, and service.

BG 4.38

न हि ज्ञानेन सदृशं पवित्रमिह विद्यते।

Verily, there is no purifier in this world like knowledge. He who is perfected in Yoga finds it within the Self in due time.

BG 4.39

श्रद्धावाँल्लभते ज्ञानं तत्परः संयतेन्द्रियः।

The one who is full of faith, devoted to it, and has subdued their senses obtains this knowledge; and upon obtaining the knowledge, they attain the supreme peace immediately.

BG 7.3

मनुष्याणां सहस्रेषु कश्िचद्यतति सिद्धये।

Among thousands of men, one may perchance strive for perfection; even among those successful strivers, only one may perchance know Me in essence.

सर्वभूतेषु येनैकं भावमव्ययमीक्षते।अविभक्तं विभक्तेषु तज्ज्ञानं विद्धि सात्त्विकम्

That by which one sees the indestructible Reality in all beings, not separate in any of them—know that knowledge to be Sattvic.
