Lord Krishna says in Shrimad-Bhagavad-gita:

na hi jnanena sadrsam
pavitram iha vidyate
tat svayam yoga-samsiddhah
kalenatmani vindati

In this world, there is nothing so sublime and pure as transcendental knowledge. Such knowledge is the mature fruit of all mysticism. And one who has become accomplished in the practice of devotional service enjoys this knowledge within himself in due course of time.

Purport by Om Vishnupada 108 Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada:

When we speak of transcendental knowledge, we do so in terms of spiritual understanding. As such, there is nothing so sublime and pure as transcendental knowledge. Ignorance is the cause of our bondage, and knowledge is the cause of our liberation. This knowledge is the mature fruit of devotional service, and when one is situated in transcendental knowledge, he need not search for peace elsewhere, for he enjoys peace within himself. In other words, this knowledge and peace culminate in Krishna consciousness. That is the last word in the Bhagavad-gita.


Lesson from the life of Parama-gurudeva Om Vishnupada 108 Shri Shrimad Bhakti-prajnana Kesava Gosvami Maharaja

During those days, social service was acknowledged as an essential element in the building of character in a student’s life, its ultimate aim being human welfare through ethical endeavors. Vinodabihari was an exceptionally brilliant student with an incomparable ability for organization. Because of his character and training, his managerial skills always reflected high standards of religion, justice, and morality. At that time the community had no organization to help the poor and sick. Together with many enthusiastic youths, Vinodabihari established an organization which cared for the poor, the sick, and even those with contagious diseases, free of charge. Destitute people were offered various forms of aid, including food and clothes. The young men involved were generous and compassionate towards the wretched and distressed, and their organization quickly became quite famous.
