Acharya Prashant explains that in this context, 'knowledge' refers to the ultimate realization, which cannot be attained without 'devotion'. Responding to a question about whether devotion is different from liberation, he states that in devotion, you let go of what you are holding onto, and you get liberation from that which you were holding. He clarifies that the word 'liberation' is commonly used in the context of knowledge, where a knowledgeable person is seen as someone who has understood and become free. He quotes Kabir Saheb, who, after attaining the vision of love, questions the need for liberation, implying that he no longer cries for it. The speaker then contrasts the path of knowledge with the path of devotion. In knowledge, your position is that you have to be free from something, that the world is upon you and you need liberation. You feel you are being held hostage and the fault lies with the world. Devotion, however, is a step beyond this. The devotee says, 'Where is the world coming upon me? It was I who was holding onto the world, and I surrender it.' The devotee understands that they were unnecessarily holding onto bondage and chooses to surrender it. In the path of knowledge, one says, 'The world is dominating me, I need liberation.' The feeling is that someone is making you a hostage, and you want to be free. In this view, you become good for wanting freedom, and the world is seen as bad for creating bondage. The devotee, however, says this is not the case; the world is not making them a hostage. Instead, they realize, 'I was holding onto the bondage, and I am surrendering it.' Ultimately, for the devotee on the path of love, the talk of liberation becomes a small matter and is not their primary concern. For one who is constantly seeing only the One, both inside and out, from what would they need to be liberated? The one who has chosen love has love. In love, you do not ask for liberation; you ask for union. Therefore, in devotion, the concept of liberation becomes secondary.
