Chapter 4 Shloka 36 अपि चेदसि पापेभ्यः सर्वेभ्यः पापकृत्तमः सर्वं ज्ञानप्लवेनैव वृजिनं सन्तरिष्यसि Api chedasi paapebhyaha sarvebhyaha paapakrittamaha Sarvam jnyaanaplavenaiva vrajinam santarishyasi Even if you are the most sinful among all sinners you will certainly cross over all sins with the boat of knowledge. Shri KRISHNA says that this knowledge has the power of destroying all of our sins completely regardless of how many sins we committed in the past. Let’s re examine what is meant by sin.Two most common sins are stealing and harming someone. In both these cases the physical act itself is not the sin. It is the ego the assertion of individuality and superiority behind each act that is the real sin. This sense of separation created by the ego causes us to commit these acts and experience joy and sorrow as a result. Over the course of our living we may have accumulated a large number of Karmas. The Karmas gained through sacrifice will destroy all sins because the sinner himself will be annihilated through this knowledge. The sinner is nothing but the ego the notion of individuality created by the false sense of identification with the finite Body, Mind and Intellect.
