Fire of Knowledge

As the heat of a fire reduces wood to ashes, the fire of knowledge burns to ashes all karma. Nothing in this world purifies like spiritual wisdom. It is the perfection achieved in time through the path of yoga, the path which leads to the Self within.

Bhagavad Gita 4.37-38

Familiarity with books is not knowledge. One's entire life is a continuous process of learning. Any process of inquiry is related to learning. But basically our inquiry should be concerned with finding out what is transient and what is permanent. This is true knowledge.

Sathya Sai Baba

The purpose of knowledge is ignorance.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Real knowledge is to know the extent of ones ignorance.

Confucius

Real knowledge, like everything else of the highest value, is not to be obtained easily. It must be worked for, studied for, thought for, and, more than all, it must be prayed for.

Thomas Arnold
