Why True Knowledge Begins with Self-Realization – Lessons from Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj.

Nowadays, we measure success in education by the degrees earned, the data gained, and the things accomplished. Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj, a highly respected spiritual leader, offered a new perspective that goes beyond the material world. In his opinion, the path to real knowledge is through self-awareness, not through what schools or books offer.

Understanding Self-Realization.

Self-realization is finding out who we are, beyond the identity layers we develop—name, status, occupation, and bodily form. Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj instructed that our actual identity is not the body or the mind but the soul—an eternal, joyful component of God. All else is incomplete knowledge unless we know this.

He would frequently say that without self-awareness, we exist in illusion, pursuing fleeting happiness in material possessions. We cannot find inner peace and enjoy enduring joy until we realize that we are divine.

The Purpose of True Knowledge

Maharaj Ji explains it this way:

Real knowledge takes away our self-ignorance and brings us to understand that our soul is always related to God.

This philosophy alters our ideas about what it means to be educated. The goal is not to remember lots of information—it’s to get rid of ego and become more spiritual. Reaching self-awareness helps us focus on significance, kindness, and real understanding.
