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
Quotations
Knowledge
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"
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"
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"
Self-knowledge is not a thing to be bought in books, but it is awareness, from moment to moment.
-J. Krishnamurti "J. Krishnamurti"
The third eye is associated with alertness and awareness. When you are alert, awake, more into knowledge, then naturally the energy has moved from the lowest chakra to the highest. You know when you are very alert and awake the sexual energy has transformed itself into a different quality of consciousness.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar " Sri Sri Ravi Shankar"
Quietly they moved down the calm and sacred river that had come down to earth so that its waters might flow over the ashes of those long dead, and that would continue to flow long after the human race had, through hatred and knowledge, burned itself out.
-Vikram Seth "Vikram Seth"
The knowledge in your mind is immeasurably greater than all that you learnt, in all manner of ways, since birth, as a child, at school, in life, in the world, in your profession. This immeasurable knowledge sometimes percolates into the dream experience; sometimes it comes as intuitive ideas, as creative feelings.
-A Spiritual Leader "Swami Omkarananda"
One whose knowledge is confined to books and whose wealth is in the possession of others, can use neither his knowledge nor wealth when the need for them arises.
-Chanakya "Chanakya"
Was there ever a more horrible blasphemy than the statement that all the knowledge of God is confined to this or that book?
