Discipline, Knowledge and Renunciation Teachings

This time, they get to talk about deeper things such as understanding, acting, knowledge, sacrifices, having self discipline, and not being possessive or individualistic, so there isn’t so much destruction and chaos. We have to "perform necessary action; it is more powerful than inaction; without action you even fail to sustain your own body" (44) There are things we have to do and they won’t be done by themselves, we have to get up, and act so they can be done. But how are we going to do them if we don’t know how? That’s why there is knowledge. "Knowledge is obscured by the wise man´s eternal enemy, which takes form as desire, and insatiable fire." (48)
When doing things or acting we sometimes have to sacrifice some good things, but instead of sacrificing something good we will get something much better. We all sacrifice different things. "Others sacrifice... the cycle or vital breath, others... food" (55) and others, other things. Sometimes when sacrificing material things we can gain knowledge. "Wise men who see reality will give you knowledge." (56) There is nothing that equals knowledge. Knowledge is something precious, and if we don’t take care of it, we will certainly lose it.
"When ignorance is destroyed by knowledge of the self, then, like the sun, knowledge illuminates ultimate reality." (61)Having knowledge is everything, when you know what to do and how to do it, then the only thing you have left to do is to actually do it. Knowledge can lead us almost anywhere, we just have to act and be disciplined, but also keep in mind that there will be times where we will have to go through sacrifices that will make everything much better than what it used to be, we will have peace and be joyful with ourselves and others around us.
