real knowledge, true knowledge, comes from knowing why.

To know reality you have to know beyond knowing.

Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance.

The essence of knowledge is, having it, to apply it; not having it, to confess your ignorance.

True knowledge is that knowledge which makes man after self-realization or union with God assert that his real Self is in everything and everybody.

To know what you know and what you do not know, that is true knowledge.

The Essence of Knowledge is, having it, to use it.

A lot of people have thought of understanding as just knowledge of true causes, but then there is a problem of why we value knowledge - if not to understand things. And in effect understanding is what underwrites the desire for knowledge in the context of science.

is — it is necessary to come first to an understanding concerning knowledge, which is looked upon as the instrument by which to take possession of the Absolute, or as the means through which to get a sight of it.

Real knowledge, like every thing 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.

Real wisdom is not the knowledge of everything, but the knowledge of which things in life are necessary, which are less necessary, and which are completely unnecessary to know. Among the most necessary knowledge is the knowledge of how to live well, that is, how to produce the least possible evil and the greatest goodness in one’s life. At present, people study useless sciences, but forget to study this, the most important knowledge.

To understand anything is to find in it something which is our own.

One needs to know what thought is, what existence is and what certainty is.

True knowledge lies in knowing how to live.
