Bhagavad-gita As It Is

BG Chapters 13 - 18

Unless one has the association of a real knower of spiritual subjects, one cannot see these three things.
BG 13.28, Purport: Anyone who by good association can see three things combined together—the body, the proprietor of the body, or individual soul, and the friend of the individual soul—is actually in knowledge. Unless one has the association of a real knower of spiritual subjects, one cannot see these three things. Those who do not have such association are ignorant; they simply see the body, and they think that when the body is destroyed everything is finished. But actually it is not so.

Srimad-Bhagavatam

SB Canto 6

A Vaiṣṇava is a real knower of the Vedas, as confirmed in Bhagavad-gītā.
SB 6.1.40, Purport: The transcendental words of the Vedas emanated from the mouth of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Therefore the Vedic principles should be understood to be Vaiṣṇava principles because Viṣṇu is the origin of the Vedas. The Vedas contain nothing besides the instructions of Viṣṇu, and one who follows the Vedic principles is a Vaiṣṇava. The Vaiṣṇava is not a member of a manufactured community of this material world. A Vaiṣṇava is a real knower of the Vedas, as confirmed in Bhagavad-gītā (vedaiś ca sarvair aham eva vedyaḥ [Bg. 15.15]).

Conversations and Morning Walks

1973 Conversations and Morning Walks

One who does, one who knows that "I am not this body," he's real knower.
Room Conversation -- August 11, 1973, Paris:

Bhagavān: We can, we can write them, make that correction.

Prabhupāda: Yes. Write immediately. One must know that I am not this body. That is knowledge. That is knower. That is common sense. I say: "It is my body." I don't say: "I body." That I explained. One who does, one who knows that "I am not this body," he's real knower. And one who knows that: "I am this body," he does not know. He's in ignorance. Just like Danielou.
