Bhagavad-gita As It Is

BG Chapters 1 - 6

BG 2.11, Purport: As explained in later chapters, it will be clear that knowledge means to know matter and spirit and the controller of both.

BG Chapters 7 - 12

BG 10.4-5, Purport: Knowledge means knowing the distinction between spirit and matter. In modern education there is no knowledge about spirit; they are simply taking care of the material elements and bodily needs. Therefore academic knowledge is not complete.

BG Chapters 13 - 18

BG 18.22, Purport: One who does not develop knowledge through the authorities or scriptural injunctions has knowledge that is limited to the body. He is not concerned about acting in terms of the directions of scripture. For him God is money, and knowledge means the satisfaction of bodily demands.

Srimad-Bhagavatam

SB Canto 1

SB 1.9.44, Purport: This spiritual urge is called brahma-jijñāsā, or inquiry about Brahman. Principally this brahma-jijñāsā is successful by knowledge, renunciation and devotional service to the Lord. Jñāna, or knowledge, means knowledge of everything of Brahman, the Supreme; renunciation means detachment of material affection, and devotional service is the revival by practice of the original position of the living being.
