Self –Knowledge or Brahma Gnana in the biblical sense is Knowledge of the Spirit  (God in Truth). The truth was not written down but was imparted orally to the chosen few.

John 8:32:~ You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

Jesus said:~ "Know what is in front of your face, and what is hidden from you will be disclosed to you. (The Gospel of Thomas-Saying 5)

It means one has to know the world that confronts him to realize his body and world are made of the same essence and that essence is Spirit [father].

Even Sage Sankara says:~ that one must first know what is before him. If he cannot know that, what else can he know or understand? If he gives up the external world in his inquiry, he cannot get the whole truth.

VC- 63. Without causing the objective universe to vanish and without knowing the truth of the Self, how is one to achieve Liberation by the mere utterance of the word Brahman? — It would result merely in an effort of speech.[

Sage Sankara says ~ VC~ 65. As a treasure hidden underground requires (for its extraction) competent instruction, excavation, the removal of stones and other such things lying above it, and (finally) grasping, but never comes out by being (merely) called out by name, so the transparent Truth of the Self, which is hidden by Maya and its effects, is to be attained through the instructions of a knower of Brahman, followed by reflection, meditation and so forth, but not through perverted arguments.

Jesus said:~ "Those who seek should not stop seeking until they find. When they find, they will be disturbed. When they are disturbed, they will marvel, and will reign over all." (Gospel of Thomas 2)

"The Kingdom of God is inside you and all around you, Not in a mansion of wood and stone. Split a piece of wood and God is there, lift a stone, and you will find God." (Gospel of Thomas)

1. According to the New Testament, Jesus said to his disciples: ‘To you, it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of God; but for others, they are in parables so that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand (Luke, 8:10). While speaking to the multitude in a veiled manner, ‘privately to his own disciples he explained everything (Mark, 4:34), and advised them not to ‘throw your pearls before swine (Matthew, 7:6).

The Knowledge of the Spirit, the God, or Self – knowledge of Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is for the class, not for the mass. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
