THE TWO KINDS OF KNOWLEDGE
“The ancient sages called the first kind of knowing Bodha Gyan—knowledge derived through concepts, descriptions, theories, and intellectual explanations. Maps,” Shiva continued, “highly useful, entirely necessary, and incredibly powerful. But they are still just maps.”
Then, he handed a spoon of honey to the seeker.
The seeker took it and tasted the single drop of honey. An intense, rich sweetness immediately flooded his tongue—instant, completely certain, and entirely beyond the reach of verbal description.
“And the second kind of knowing?” the seeker asked, looking down at the empty spoon.
“Paurusha Gyan,” Shiva answered. “The unshakeable knowledge that comes exclusively through direct participation."
