RamakrishnaThat knowledge which purifies the mind and heart alone is true Knowledge, all else is only a negation of Knowledge.
About This Quote
Knowledge is the only thing that matters and that knowledge is not something that will just come to you by chance. It takes effort and dedication to reach the point of true knowledge. If you do not know yourself, how can you possibly know anything about others? If you do not know others, how can you possibly see who they are? If you do not know yourself, how can you possibly understand your own mind and heart?
