Sambandha-jnana,knowledge of what is what.Sri Jagannatha Puri

They lead a secluded life, and mentally go on identifying themselves with a particular sakhi of their own age, her duty, her place of attendance in a particular place of Vrndavana, in a particular lila, under the guidance of a particular sakhi, and so on. They are required to go on meditating on all these things by their so-called guru. That is the process amongst the sahajiya school, but we do not admit that. We consider it false and imaginary. They are not fit to enter that plane of Radha-Govinda lila. They do no have real sambandha-jnana, knowledge of what is what. They only go on with the habitual repetition of a particular mental speculation, but anartha-nivrtti (purging of all evils) or any other process based on it cannot be effected. Their imaginary achievement is sheer concoction. They are not aware of the facts the ontological gradation from Viraja to Brahmaloka, Vaikuntha and Goloka. They are pukura-curiwale (pond thieves". To think that one can steal a pond is self-deception. We think that kind of "smarana" to be something like self-deception.

One must gradually reach the plane of truth -- suddha-sattva. There are so many planes, so many planets to cross over -- Bhur, Bhuvah, Svah, Mahar, Janar, Tapar, Satyaloka, Viraja, Brahmaloka. Mahaprabhu says that the creeper of bhakti grows and rises up to Goloka, and she has to cross all these planes.
