Here, Kṛṣṇa says beautifully, ‘Even if
you are the most sinful of all sinners—
sarve-bhyaḥ pāpa-kṛt-tamaḥ, you will
certainly completely cross the ocean of
miseries with the boat of knowledge—
sarvaṁ jñāna-plavenaiva
vṛjinaṁ santariṣyasi
At the spiritual level, the concept of sin does not exist. It is a creation of man-made institutions, of societal and political organizations to control others through fear. When you have the true knowledge, the intelligence of why you are doing what you are doing, the very knowledge will make the action divine, the act will no longer be just a ritual but a means to reach the Ultimate. Automatically, you will cross the ocean of miseries because misery itself is a result of ignorance of your true self. When ‘spirit’ is added to a ‘ritual’, it becomes ‘spi-rituality’.
