Knowledge That Fully Satisfies

“When an inquisitive person comes to understand this knowledge, he has nothing further to know. After all, one who has drunk the most palatable nectar cannot remain thirsty.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 11.29.32, translation

What the purport teaches

  • When an inquisitive person fully understands this knowledge, nothing further remains to be known.
  • The verse compares this satisfaction to drinking the most palatable nectar.

Ask yourself

Am I seeking to understand these teachings deeply, rather than simply gathering more information?
