Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 13 verse 18

 Chapter 13 verse 18 

“He is the source of light in all luminaries, and is entirely beyond the darkness of ignorance. He is knowledge, the object of knowledge, and the goal of knowledge. He dwells within the hearts of all living beings.” 

Continuing the definition of true knowledge, Bhagwan talks about the knowing that entity which is the source of all light and the rest of the world’s glow is just a reflection of this luminescence. He rids the universe of all darkness. He is both the knowledge in the Vedas, originator of the Vedas, entity being discussed in the Vedas and the ultimate destination or goal of the Vedas as well. When the human being becomes an efficient work horse without draining energy in expectations or attachments to results of action (karma yoga), draw their mind and intellect inwards in contemplation of the Self (raja yoga), fill that void in the mind and intellect with thought of total surrender to the Supreme entity (Bhakti yoga), true knowledge is installed in that being- jnana sprouts. Bhagwan then becomes a permanent resident in their hearts, mind and soul.
