KNOWLEDGE MAKES US SEE THE REALITIES OF LIFE IN THEIR TRUE COLOURS

None of us can deny that the most valuable wealth is knowledge. Knowledge is the kind of wealth that does not decrease by sharing; instead, it spreads. And, as they say, it is the only wealth that can’t be stolen.

That is why the Bhagawat Gita says so beautifully: “The raft of knowledge ferries the worst sinner to safety.” In other words, knowledge is a safeguard against all kinds of difficulties that could otherwise lead one to disaster. Knowledge, when used properly, can make the difference for a beautiful and purposeful life not only for yourself but for others as well.

Knowledge has led us to the heights of what was once thought impossible. Know + ledge opens a tunnel-cum-highway that forms the gateway to your destiny. And, it depends on our knowledge and understanding of the realities that help us keep fighting against the odds of impossibilities. But for knowledge, you are like a limbless person daring to swim in an ocean!

Knowledge makes us humane and loving. So much so that it enables us, at times, to forget enmity and embrace our enemies. We then get richer with many more friends, and life gets so meaningful.

And, as English philosopher Francis Bacon says, “Knowledge is a rich storehouse for the glory of the creator and the relief of man’s estate.” No wonder, the more you know, the more humble you become.
