== Srimad-Bhagavatam ==

=== SB Canto 1 ===

'''Material knowledge means ignorance of the knowledge of one's own self. '''

'''[[Vanisource:SB 1.12.28|SB 1.12.28, Purport]]:''' Material knowledge means ignorance of the knowledge of one's own self. Philosophy means to seek after the right knowledge of one's own self, or the knowledge of self-realization. Without self-realization, philosophy is dry speculation or a waste of time and energy. Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam gives the right knowledge of one's own self, and by hearing Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam one can get free from material attachment and enter into the kingdom of fearlessness. This material world is fearfulness.
