One who is able to withdraw his senses from sense objects, as the tortoise draws his limbs within the shell, is to be understood as truly situated in knowledge.
-Srimad Bhagavad Gita "Bhagwad Gita 2.58"
Quotations
Knowledge
-Srimad Bhagavad Gita "Bhagwad Gita 2.58"
This is true knowledge: to seek the Self as the true end of wisdom always. To seek anything else is ignorance.
-Srimad Bhagavad Gita "Bhagwad Gita 13.11"
Self-knowledge is not a thing to be bought in books, but it is awareness, from moment to moment.
-J. Krishnamurti "J. Krishnamurti"
The ornament of the night is the moon, that of the day is the sun. The ornament of the devotee is devotion, that of devotion knowledge. The ornament of knowledge is meditation, and that of meditation is renunciation. The ornament of renunciation, says Tulsi, is pure, unalloyed peace.
-A Spiritual Leader "Sant Tulsidas"
Scholars who incessantly contemplate acquiring strength and knowledge should also consider it their moral duty to impart knowledge to the ignorant, so that they can develop their mental faculties. This would automatically lead to the latter’s self-development and spiritual progress.
-Vedas "Yajurveda"
Scholars who incessantly contemplate on acquiring strength and knowledge should also consider it their moral duty to impart knowledge to the ignorant, so that they can develop their mental faculties. This would automatically lead to the latter’s self-development and spiritual progress.
-Vedas "Yajur Veda"
The sun, symbolising wisdom, divine knowledge and spiritual light, which receded from you when you revelled in the darkness of ignorance, delusion and sensuality, now joyously turns on its northward course and moves towards you to shed its light and warmth in greater abundance, and to infuse into you more life and energy.
-Swami Sivananda "Swami Sivananda"
All the effective knowledge is very much hidden in the deep recesses of human mind. This is the reason, be it melodies of Mozart or Omar Khayyam's rubaiyat, Krishna's Bhagavad Gita or Einstein's formula which transformed the world E=mc2; all of them have stemmed from within.
-Deep Trivedi
The amount of knowledge that is hidden in the deep recesses of the mind...
the outside world does not have even a fraction more to offer. Of course, the
information updates have to be sourced from the outside world... Here, the
difference between 'knowledge' and 'information' is worth understanding.
-Deep Trivedi
