Knowledge Quotes

A man has only so much knowledge as he puts to work.

Francis of Assisi
14

In the presence of your Satguru, knowledge flourishes; sorrow diminishes; without any reason joy wells up; lack diminishes, abundance dawns and all talents manifest.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
14

Knowledge of the ultimate Self is to know Oneself by oneself.

Lahiri Mahasaya
14

Since male and female incarnations are equally necessary for self-knowledge, it is not right to look upon one as being more important than the other.

Meher Baba
14

The way of love is as true as the way of knowledge. All paths ultimately lead to the same Truth. But as long as God keeps the feeling of ego in us, it is easier to follow the path of love.

Ramakrishna
14

Suffering is a product of limited knowledge.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
14

Those who have knowledge, don't predict. Those who predict, don't have knowledge.

Lao Tzu
14

Knowledge by itself does not give understanding. Nor is understanding increased by an increase of knowledge alone. Understanding depends upon the relation of knowledge to being...It appears only when a man feels and senses what is connected with it.

George Gurdjieff
14

The best of knowledge comes through revelation, not through the mind. It is a flood of knowledge that overwhelms the whole being.

Swami Rama
14

The less you feel and the more firmly you believe, the more praiseworthy is your faith and the more it will be esteemed and appreciated; for real faith is much more than a mere opinion of man. In it we have true knowledge: in truth, we lack nothing save true faith.

Meister Eckhart
14

The knowledge of sin is the beginning of salvation.

Epicurus
14

Time is only an idea. There is only the Reality. Whatever you think it is, it looks like that. If you call it time, it is time. If you call it existence, it is existence, and so on. After calling it time, you divide it into days and nights, months, years, hours, minutes, etc. Time is immaterial for the Path of Knowledge.

Ramana Maharshi
14

The psychic being and the mental being, Manomaya Purusha, are not the same. The psychic being is behind the mind, it is what the Westerners call the soul. It takes interest in the movements of the mind and the vital only when there is a harmony between these movements and the truth above. The knowledge of the psychic being is deeper.

Sri Aurobindo
14

Keen intelligence is two-edged. It may be used constructively or destructively like a knife, either to cut the boil of ignorance, or to decapitate one's self. Intelligence is rightly guided only after the mind has acknowledged the inescapability of spiritual law.

Sri Yukteswar Giri
13

Human evolution has two steps - from being somebody to being nobody; and from being nobody to being everybody. This knowledge can bring sharing and caring throughout the world.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
13

The man endowed with perfect Self-Knowledge is not entangled by his action; but the man devoid of this Knowledge enters samsara.

Adi Shankara
13

It is through this physical body that the highest and greatest purpose of life is achieved. A person only calls it the physical body in ignorance. Once the knowledge has come...he begins to look upon it as the sacred temple of God.

Hazrat Inayat Khan
13

No Knowledge comes from outside; it is all inside.

Swami Dayanand Saraswati
13

Of the three paths – Jnana (knowledge), karma (action), or bhakti (devotion), a sadhaka should choose one which suits one’s nature. Not one of these paths is superior or inferior to the others. It is sheer ignorance to consider one’s own path to be superior and those of others to be inferior.

Swami Kripalvananda
13

The crowd neither wants nor seeks knowledge, and the leaders of the crowd, in their own interests, try to strengthen its fear and dislike of everything new and unknown. The slavery in which mankind lives is based upon this fear.

George Gurdjieff
13

Understanding means throwing away your knowledge.

Thích Nhất Hạnh
13

Take the understanding of the East and the knowledge of the West-and then seek.

George Gurdjieff
13

Don't worry. You don't know enough to worry. . . . Who do you think you are that you should worry, for cryin' out loud. It's a total waste of time. It presupposes such a knowledge of the situation that it is, in fact, a form of hubris.

Terence McKenna
