Wisdom vs Knowledge
(difference wisdom knowledge - wisdom quotes)

Kaivalya Jnani:
Wisdom is exploring the real self of us... the world of our soul atman within! If we desire gaining Wisdom... we need to travel the spiritual path. Bhagavad Gita... the most sacred doctrine given to mankind by Lord Krishna in the battle of Mahabharata is pure Wisdom.

All the 700 verses contained in Bhagavad Gita give the real gist of life! The knower of Bhagavad Gita becomes the knower of all... one practically becomes omniscient!

Wisdom is traveling the path unknown... the uncharted territory of God Almighty! Wisdom is realizing our soul atman within being the real governor of the body. It is our soul atman that manifests the body and not vice versa.

Wisdom is gaining insight into the cosmic crux of life... that it takes a cosmic life cycle of 8.4 million manifestations for a soul atman to regain its original pure pristine form.

Wisdom is reaching the stage of Enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally salvation (moksha). Travelers on the path of spirituality are never after any religious doctrine. They simply desire gaining Enlightenment at the earliest. Reaching the last leg of cosmic life... the 8.4 millionth manifestation... our soul atman finally liberates from the cycle of birth and death.

On the contrary... knowledge is derived from books. It is knowledge that makes us earn our living... our livelihood! In absence of bookish knowledge... one can never become successful in practical life!

We need both bookish and practical knowledge in the journey of life. For living a sojourn of 70 to 80 us on Mother Earth... one need not travel the path of Wisdom. Religion helps one in the normal journey of life.

Bookish knowledge is not the end of all. The Wisdom contained in the sacred scriptures is universal in nature. There can be many interpretations but the meaning of all remains the same. Knowledge is that which increases the intellect of a person. As we mature... so does our knowledge! Knowledge directly supports us in our day to day life.
