There is no more pure things as knowledge in entire brahman.its with knowledge the universe is created,being sustained.
This is probably the most accurate post in this thread. This arrow (post) has hit the target of discussion perfectly, but I needed an arrow to pierce through this discussion right into its core, but that's a bit too much too ask .
Jasdirji, I would like to tell you one thing.
Truth is the supreme in my view, because....
1.)It does not alter with time (so does love)
2.)It is independent of everything (so is love)
3.)Truth can't be influenced by any power (love is influenced by knowledge and vise verse).
To everyone,
I really loved everyone's opinions in this thread, but the discussion hasn't reached a 'conclusion post' and I have a doubt now in the second question of the initiator post. I think the important thing to achieve is not these 6.
I feel evolution is the key to reach the truth, but evolution requires, thought, knowledge, love, righteousness, etc.
Most of all, we need a power that keeps all of these tied together with the truth. something like ether that keeps the remaining four of pancha butas together. Something which not only depends on thought, knowledge, love and righteousness, but also must influence them as well, so as to promote us to 'pure conscious beings'. From thinking in this direction, I have stumbled upon the word, 'pragnya' in sanskrith (actually, I found it in my mother tongue kannada, while using it in a conversation). I wish I knew the english equivalent for this word. Pragnya is really what keeps these together. Without pragnya, the existence of thought as well as righteousness is not possible, without pragnya, knowledge cannot be experienced and may withdraw itself, just like a touch me not plant withdraws its leaves when touched and this pushes us back to the state of being of animosity. Without pragnya, the love we have in our hearts may be misguided just like what happened to Dritarashtra (Father of Kauravas). So, enabling ourselves to obtain a refined pragnya is very important. This is achievable by gaining proper samskaras through righteousness, right thought, right action, knowledge, love and right associationship. The word pragnya may be equivalent to the word 'conscious' as I have used them in same contexts many times. Also, ichha is as important as pragnya and functions under the influence of the 4 and influences these four.
I just need posts from the readers as verification to my theory , just in case I'm still ignorant in this topic. I wouldn't take chances.
To NayaSurya,
Are clarity of thought and pragnya the same? I am asking this question assuming that you know the meaning of 'pragnya'.
I thank everyone, from the bottom of my heart who have taken part or read this thread.
To smaranam, (a reply to a post ending in page 2)
I'm happy you were concerned about my karma yoga (studies), but the funny part is, I posted the first post of this thread 2 weeks after writing my CET exams. Yea, I got that a lot from my parents and friends during 3 of my academic careers, but no need to worry, because I'm thinking of getting my karma pragnya more refined. Its good to have friends who nag me and show me the right path . Post appreciated smaranamji. Thanks.

Reason: Forgot a point
I don't know who I am, nor what I am.
I don't know what I need to know.
I don't know who you are, nor what you are.
All I know is that you love me, Oh Sarvathma.
Lead me on the righteous path, so that I may reach you.
