Sai Baba presented a profound and unconventional view by suggesting that true Knowledge (Jnana) is self-existent and beyond words, and therefore cannot be the subject of instruction. In Chapter 39, he advised a devotee to reinterpret a verse, replacing 'Knowledge' with 'Ignorance' (Ajnana) to grasp the deeper meaning. He explained that what spiritual teachers and Gurus instruct upon is actually the nature of Ignorance and the means to remove it. Knowledge is like pure water covered by moss; it is ever-present but veiled. Once the moss of Ignorance is removed through the Guru's grace, the self-existent Knowledge shines naturally without needing to be taught.
