# 42 : (VIDEO) : BHAGAVAD GITA : CHAPTER 4 : " The Yoga of Knowledge as well as the disciplines of Action and Knowledge” : INTRODUCTION

“That openness to knowledge…has been a chief characteristic of this culture…right from the days of the Vedas till today. Our spiritual tradition has always encouraged the pursuit of knowledge.”

“The knowers of Brahman tell us there are 2 types of knowledge – the para vidya, the apara vidya. And both are to be known”

“…the Gita’s special contribution…to the Vedanta philosophy is this – the doctrine of the avatara. Strangely, the word ‘avatara’ is not used in the Gita.”
