Words of Wisdom

Not that you don't know!
But, because I liked them!

Mere reading such words is of no use.
We must meditate on them, own them if we can.
Only then, the wisdom is of any use.

You may have a library at home.
But, what is it you have in yourself?

Study these few lines!

Present


Each day is a new beginning

We shall see today as new. Nothing from the past is here. It is only we who bring that past into the present day. We do it because we think it defines us. But is it necessary that we keep living the same old life always?

Knowledge

A fool with a tool is still a fool.

You know many things. You never make use of them. You are as good as one who does not know them. Try and make use of the things that you know.

Useful knowledge

What you learn is your teacher’s concern.
What you do with what you learn is your concern.
How useful is your knowledge is society’s concern.
Mere knowledge is nothing but vanity.

Learning has to culminate in some useful exploitation. Knowledge preserved in the brain is waste.

Self awareness

One, who has studied the entire world and not studied the self, has not studied anything.

Worldly wisdom is of no use without knowledge of one’s own strengths and weaknesses. You have to relate yourself with this world. People are different from one another. Unless you know yourself you can not relate to them properly.
