If knowledge, and means of knowledge are absent, naturally wrong notions would step in, and the Lord points out the consequences of the latter :

The one, who is ignorant, is destitute of faith, and having full of doubts (uncertainty), he perishes (goes to Hell); for him who doubts, there is neither this world nor the other (superior lokas) nor happiness.

Having gained the knowledge (to be imparted to you) you shall not again fall into this confusion, O Pandava. Hence by that knowledge you shall see all beings without exception, in Me, the Atman (the one who sits within all beings and actuates them).

If it be asked that which of the aforesaid sacrifices is the most exalted, the Lord says:

O Parantapa, better than the sacrifices of the substances is the “sacrifice of wisdom” (righteous efforts to gain knowledge and wisdom); every act, be it the smallest, finds its accomplishment in wisdom (when the wisdom is gained, all actions bear fruits), O Partha.
