Śuddhajñāna (शुद्धज्ञान, “pure knowledge”) refers to the last of five attitude characterizing the four states of spiritual life (bhakta), according to the Mānasāra LIX, 1-2. Śuddhajñāna, is pure knowledge without an object (the adjective śuddha, “pure”, both implies and owes to this condition). It is the state of absolute non-duality in which the differentiation between knower and known ceases to exist. Hence the state of sāyūjya is also said to be paramārtavat, “possession of supreme truth”.
