On the other hand, Vedas and other scriptures help you see and understand your inner self and bring you closer to your Self. That is why, Vedic knowledge is greater than Science.

Deep study of great scriptures takes you on an inward journey to reveal your true self to you. In that respect, it feels as if Science may not be real knowledge. We can also infer that Vedas and other scriptures contain real knowledge. 

But, even if you are well versed in both these kinds of knowledge, your ego leads you to believe you are very knowledgeable, thus drowning you in ignorance. 

Regardless of how many PhDs you have, this is the fate. Why is this happening? Because, when one doesn’t concentrate on the Guru Principle, all knowledge leads to ignorance. 

That is why these are called “Bhramakas”, or things that drown you in illusion. Lord Shiva says that people that revel in such knowledge are fools. 

So, all these branches of knowledge that lead you toward illusion are together referred to as “lower worldly knowledge” (Apara vidya). 

The other kind of knowledge that leads you to understand your inner self is divine knowledge (Para vidya). 

This is obtained only by realizing the Guru Principle. Among those who studied the Vedas, there are some who do Anushthanam. 

What is “Anushthanam”? Yagnas, donations for a good cause, service to mankind, rituals, vows, pilgrim trips, penance etc are different kinds of Anushthanam. We’ll talk about Anushthanam next.
