Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam
[ Canto 3, Ch. 24 ]
Those who are trying to get out of the entanglement by speculation are also doing their best, but in the Vedic scriptures we find that if anyone has taken to the devotional service of the Lord in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, he can very easily uproot the deep-rooted desire for fruitive activities.  Sāṅkhya  philosophy will be broadcast by Kapila Muni for that purpose. His bodily features are also described herein.  Jñāna  does not refer to ordinary research work.  Jñāna  entails receiving knowledge from the scriptures through the spiritual master by discipline succession. In the modern age there is a tendency to do research by mental speculation and concoction. But the man who speculates forgets that he himself is subject to the four defects of nature: he is sure to commit mistakes, his senses are imperfect, he is sure to fall into illusion, and he is cheating. Unless one has perfect knowledge from discipline succession, he simply puts forth some theories of his own creation; therefore he is cheating people.  Jñāna  means knowledge received through discipline succession from the scriptures, and  vijñāna  means practical application of such knowledge. Kapila Muni's  sāṅkhya  system of philosophy is based on  jñāna  and  vijñāna .
TEXT 18
एष मानवि ते गर्भं प्रविष्टः केटमार्दनः ।
अविद्यासंशयग्रन्थि छित्त्वा गां विचरिष्यति ॥१८॥
eṣa mānavi te garbhaṁ praviṣṭaḥ kaiṭabhārdanaḥ avidyā-saṁśaya-granthiṁ chittvā gāṁ vicariṣyati

TRANSLATION
Lord Brahmā then told Devahūti: My dear daughter of Manu, the same Supreme Personality of Godhead who killed the demon Kaiṭabha is now within your womb. He will cut off all the knots of your ignorance and doubt. Then He will travel all over the world.
