Verse 32

The Yoga of Divine Glories

Of all creations I am the beginning and the end and also the middle, O Arjuna. Of all sciences I am the spiritual science of the Self, and among logicians I am the conclusive truth.

Context & Meaning

Among all created things: the beginning, middle, and end — the entire arc of existence. Among all forms of knowledge: adhyātma-vidyā — the science of the Self, the inner knowledge that leads to liberation. Among all forms of reasoning and debate: the conclusive truth (vāda) — not argument for its own sake, but the reasoning that arrives at and rests in reality.

Adi Shankaracharya

Advaita

Adhyātmavidyā — self-knowledge — is called the queen of all sciences because it alone has the power to uproot suffering at its root. All other knowledge serves partial purposes; self-knowledge alone leads to complete liberation.
