Letter 2 know the exact amount, he may say, "My father earns a lot and our family is very rich." He says so because he does not have the full knowledge about the family's wealth.
But at the same time if his mother is asked the same question by her friends in a kitty party group, out of her own pride for her husband and the family or merely to show off, she will tend to exaggerate and say that her husband earns in lacs and they are very rich. If the same lady is sometimes confronted by the tax authorities then she may, out of fear,say that her husband earns just enough to live simple life style and will tell very low figure of few thousand rupees and say that her family does not have much wealth.
So in the case of the child because of its ignorance about the extent of wealth and in the case of his mother her feelings of pride or fear i.e. passions, they will not be able to tell the true story.
Similarly the true knowledge of the path of liberation can be gained from the person who has total knowledge (omniscience) i.e. Keval Dnyan denizia and also equally important factor is that he should be devoid of all Kashayas like Krodh, Maan, Maya, Lobh, etc., i.e. Veetaragi.
Because otherwise as we many a times see in life that many a learned people try to impart wrong notion of God for their own benefit or for some other ulterior motive.
It is a natural phenomenon that one attains total Veetaragata first and then he attains Sarvadnyata, ( omniscience ). It is very frightening thought that if a person attains omniscience before he does attain total devoidance of passions. Any person who has passions if gains total omniscience he can use that knowledge for his personal benefits and may cause lot of harm to the people he dislikes or has enemity with.
Even in today's so called modern world we see that whatever little knowledge is gained by the mankind in the form of scientific discoveries is many a times used for the destruction (like warfare machinery or weaponery) and so called enhancement of modern life style of few nations.
Now we have finalized the concept of nature of true God as those who are totally devoid of passions and are omniscient. Nobody else can be Ishwar or God. The so called Gods with passions are called Kudev gica i.e. false god.
Because by praying and following them passions arise in us and by following their preaching our fallacious beliefs are confirmed and grow. Those who follow and pray these Kudev with the desire and beliefs of attaining liberation are in fact leading in the opposite direction.
