Krishna said: I will now reveal to you, doubtless one, the most secret of knowledge which will liberate you from the misery of material existence. This transcendental knowledge is the king of sciences, the ultimate secret, the perfection of religion, and can be understood by direct experience. Those who are without faith do not obtain this knowledge of Dharma. They remain trapped in the cycle of birth and death in this material world.
