The only knowledge that is of any value is to know that all this is humbug. But few, very few, will ever know this.
"Know the Atman alone, and give up all other vain words." This is the only knowledge we gain from all this knocking about the universe.
This is the only work, to call upon mankind to "Awake, arise, and stop not till the goal is reached".
It is renunciation, Tyaga, that is meant by religion, and nothing else.
