"We are very much proud of our advancement of education. But if you inquire from various persons that 'What you are?' hardly some will answer what he is. Everyone is under the conception of this body. But we are not actually this body. This question we have discussed various times, many times. So this after passing this examination that 'I am not this body', then one who, one comes into the real knowledge. That is real knowledge, 'What I am'. That is the beginning. So the knowledge about which Lord Kṛṣṇa is now imparting, giving instruction to Arjuna, He says, 'This is rāja-vidyā'. Rāja-vidyā means to know oneself what he is and act accordingly. That is called rāja-vidyā."
