Is it possible to sell Gyan? How many of us believe that by just reading a printed version of BG will give you real Gyan just because you have paid a price to buy such books?
OTOH, we should see the printed books in the stores as means get awareness and only if you develope sincerity and greater understanding of what is presented in the book by practice, the Gyan will develope. This is the very reason why Guru Dakshina is always offered at the end of Brahmacharya and also not always in terms of money. So, it shouldn't be seen as some material exchange for Gyan and super Knowledge. Buying a printed book is not a Guru Dakshina and it is just to make sure such awareness continue to exist in the acceptable form of the time of our living.
Gyan can never be sold even if someone wants to! :) Its just my opinion.
