 describes knowledge in telling terms: not as the degrees that comprise our information base, but as the qualities that comprise our character base.
How can we develop this character-centered knowledge?
Gita wisdom aids us in forming and reforming our character by showing us the fastest expressway to developing virtuous qualities. By our own individual, determined efforts, we may be able to develop some virtues.

Based on Bhagavad Gita Chapter 13, Text 08-12

Gita wisdom helps us understand that our actions are determined not just by the information that we carry in our heads, but also by the character that we cultivate in our hearts. The Bhagavad-gita (13.08-12) describes knowledge in telling terms: not as the degrees that comprise our information base, but as the qualities that comprise our character base.
