Jñāna and tattva-darśī. Simply jñānī, simply A-B-C-D knowledge, academic education, will not help. You must be jñānī, at the same time, tattva-darśī. That tattva-darśana cannot be possible by mental speculation. Ciraṁ vicinvan.

Who knows the tattva. Athāpi te deva padāmbuja-dvaya-prasāda-leśānugṛhīta: "One person who has got a slight benediction from Your lotus feet." Not that all. A slight. Svalpam apy asya dharmasya trāyate mahato bhayāt. If you get a slight, a glance, then your life is perfect, immediately.

Not that you have to get all the mercies of the Lord. Even little, very insignificant part. That means, insignificant, that is Kṛṣṇa is teaching Himself: "Just surrender."

So this much mercy every one of us, we can take. How? "Kṛṣṇa, I was wandering throughout the whole universe in so many lives. I did not know that You are my supreme master. Now, from this day, I surrender unto You." Kṛṣṇa is ready: ahaṁ tvāṁ sarva-pāpebhyo mokṣayiṣyāmi ([[Vanisource:BG 18.66 (1972)|BG 18.66]]): "Yes, you do it. I shall give you protection from all sinful resultant action. Immediately."
