MAAsterG distinguishes between two broad  categories of knowledge: ‘Sansaaric Gyan’ and ‘Atam Gyan’.

Sansaric Gyan (Worldly Knowledge) is the knowledge acquired through the five senses (mind and body) and is the foundation of our perception of the materialistic world. MAAsterG states that Sansaaric Gyan is temporary; it did not exist before birth and will disappear at death, along with all relationships and possessions, including the physical body. Thus, this knowledge is considered illusory.

Aatam Gyan (Self-Knowledge) is the knowledge of the essence that enables the functioning of the five senses (mind and body). Aatam Gyan remains constant—it existed before birth, remains throughout life and persists after death. Unlike worldly riches, which cannot revive the body after death, Aatam Gyan is eternal and invaluable.

MAAsterG emphasizes that people often spend their lives in pursuit of the fleeting Sansaaric Gyan, neglecting the search for the eternal Aatam Gyan. When individuals shift their focus from worldly knowledge to self-knowledge, they begin to realize the ease of life and develop immense gratitude. This shift doesn’t require renouncing anything or acquiring new skills; it involves an altered understanding of life and a mindful witnessing of life’s unfolding. As a result, acceptance of life’s outcomes increases, attachment to desires decreases, and transformation happens naturally.
