Yasmin vijñÄte sarvam evaá¹ vijñÄtaá¹ bhavati (Muṇá¸aka Upaniá¹£ad 1.3). This Vedic hymn declares emphatically that the devotee of the Lord knows everything material and spiritual in relationship with the Lord. Devotees are not simply emotional, as is ill conceived by certain less intelligent men. Their direction is practical. They know everything that is and all the details of the Lord’s domination over the different creations.
