If one takes the path of detachmentment, would you still go thorough the path various types of thorough knowledge anyway? In other words can you get to “combination of consistent practice and dispassionate non-attachment result in the highest state of self knowledge.” without thorough knowledge? Or do you do both non-attachment, and thorough inquiry at the same time?
A - No. and No. The first 2 (practice and detachment) lead to the state of Jnana. Jnanis do not possess wisdom. This wisdom is not knowledge, it is ready access to the 4th kosha. They do not hold it they merely are given the key to being in that state wherein the most appropriate answers are given for the situations they find themselves in.
