Mandukyopanishad, which is one of the Upanishads of the Atharvaveda, sets a very wide framework for the aquisition of knowledge as a whole. The secrets of knowledge, knowledge management (KM), Self, Self-Management, Success, Achievement, Growth & improvement, Psychology of Consciousness lie hidden in this great Upanishad of just a dozen mantras (of less than 50 lines). This is the briefest Upanishad but the greatest of all the Upanishads.
It is suggested that one should study 108 Upanishads out of the 1180. If this is not possible, one should at least study the ten principal Upanishads. If that too is not possible, one should at any rate study Mandukyopanishad. This underlines the importance

Prajna is Direct Experience of Divine Truths which results in Knowledge and Supreme Happiness.
eg. Everyone can tell us about how wonderful Mangos and Orange tastes, unless we ourselves taste it we would never TRULY know what that wonderful experience is really like or if it is even wonderful.
