At what time did they live.
more so than many
What?
some thousands of years ago, some more recently
a lot of the epics come from a time before our Kali Yuga began
Are they all equally knowledgeable?
here is a short description of what the Kali Yuga is
except there is apostolic succession straight from Christ
and his apostles
there's a similar system from the succession from Manush, who was taught by Surya
I do not care about these side issues sir.
I am trying to get to know how these men got their knowledge.
it's not a side issue, it is crucial if you are to learn the history of Dharma
I just said, divinely inspired, and passed down through generations of gurus who were sworn unto God to keep the knowledge pure.
Did God give them all his knowledge?
Yes.
Directly or through chains of narration?
depends, God intervenes rarely and only at specific periods in history where things are very dire, it's mostly succession of gurus, but there is direct intervention as well like with the Gita
Was the Brahmins born all knowledgeable?
why do you keep asking the same questions
I already said like 3 times no
no person is all knowledgeable
that is an absurd question
You just told me before that they were all knowledgeable.
no I didn't, I said that they were divinely inspired
doesn't mean they literally knew everything
oh I thought you meant as in were they learned men
not "all knowledgeable" as in they were omniscient or something
You are being disingenious now.
And evasive when caught lying.
no that was my mistake
I did answer that way, but I don't understand the context you're asking this in
all knowledgeable as in know everything?
or learned as in educated
because no man can know everything, but yes the gurus were educated and learned men
ALL knowledgeavle means, posess ALL KNOWLEDGE possible.
Does that make sense?
Caste requirement is that you be a scholar and intellectual to even be considered to be entrusted with passing down scriptures
@Richard Rock No I never claimed they have all knowledge
