Knowledge: Encyclopedia - Knowledge

Knowledge is present moment awareness. In other words, on a practical level knowledge is whatever we are aware of right now.

While an action may take place in the future, its result is not entirely predictable; therefore, we cannot ...

Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa's advice to house-holders is: "A little spiritual discipline is necessary in order to know what lies within. The painter first draws the outlines and then fills in the details and colours at leisure. The moulder first makes the image out of clay, then plasters it, gives it a coat of whitewash, and last of all, paints it with a brush. All these steps must be undertaken successively." This is Ramakrishna's first 'commandment'.

Knowledge: Higher Knowledge

Hindu Quotes: Higher Knowledge

The study of the Vedas, linguistics,

Rituals, astronomy and all the arts

Can be called lower knowledge. The higher

Is that which leads to Self-realization.

The eye cannot see it; mind cannot grasp it.

The deathless Self has neither caste nor race,

Neither eyes not ears nor hands nor feet.

Sages say this Self is infinite in the great

And in the small, everlasting and changeless,

The source of life.

- Mundaka Upanishad

Knowledge: Right Faith, Right Knowledge And Right Conduct

The three fundamental tenets for Jains are: Right faith, right knowledge and right conduct. A pursuit of these goals involves modest living, and prescribed behavior such as non-violence and stringent vegetarianism, and also various rituals and acts of devotion ( puja). The worship of images of mortal teachers or Thirthankaras (divinities) is common among Buddhists, Hindus, and Jains alike, but the approach of the Jains to the Tirthankaras differs from that of the other groups.

Knowledge: Gyana Yoga - Path of Knowledge

Gyana Yoga is the spiritual path of 'knowledge'. It aims at realising the Supreme Spirit through deep enquiry and constant contemplation upon the eternal truths. In Gyana Yoga, you will endeavour to achieve enlightenment through the study of sacred books of wisdom and truth.

Normally, people who are very well versed in religious and other scriptures (Scriptural scholars) are considered 'gyaan yogis'. But it is important to note that if knowledge is not balanced with devotion to God, then it will carry the danger of developing arrogance and one-sidedness.

Love sweetens our understanding just as knowledge sharpens and directs our love. Love that is uncontrolled by knowledge can be much like a hose that is turned on and then left without a guiding hand; it neighs and just gushes forth making it impossible to use it effectively.
