Guest guest Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 I was reading somewhere "Gyanam Bandham" Knowledge is bondage. How can this be- I thought knowledge sets you free? Lalu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 I think they are talking about Panditeya knowledge, what could also be called academic knowledge, which is what most people have. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Such knowledge makes them proud and arrogant, and moves them away from spirituality. Most people are happy with rituals, without knowing their inner meaning or purpose. They are religious, but not spiritual. For them knowledge becomes a bondage.

Here the scripture is talking about Karma and Upasana (ignorance and knowledge). If the purpose of Karma and Upasana is to attain to a higher plane such as heaven etc., then both leads to bondage. radhakutir OM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
