So, intellectual knowledge / understanding is not a requirement. Though, it sure will result in time.<br /><br />But, this enlightenment, does not prevent such people from making stupid mistakes or from getting fooled despite all other knowledge and wisdom, just like you, me or anyone else for that matter.<br /><br />But, in these times when it is important for such people to venture out into the world, they can get easily fooled and thats why I was saying its important for them to understand the ways of the world.<br /><br />So, what I am claiming is that, without focused effort, it is not possible to understand the ways of the society these days and hence there are higher chances of getting fooled.Parthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07498458236201233375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15712510.post-77452377336346422782009-10-22T15:24:18.481+05:302009-10-22T15:24:18.481+05:30And I think, there is enough there in Yama/Niyama ...And I think, there is enough there in Yama/Niyama in terms of principles for knowledge for functioning in the world to emerge out of.Karthikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06063174245492980402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15712510.post-53698370929264260432009-10-22T15:00:16.500+05:302009-10-22T15:00:16.500+05:30I think part of the enlightened persona *must be* ...I think part of the enlightened persona *must be* to understand what one knows/what one can/should say from what one knows. Such an enlightenment without knowledge/awareness must be considered passe instead of claiming the original enlightenment to be *the* enlightenment and knowledge of the world to be mired in samsara. Whats the use of the sine wave, if not to reconstruct various other real world waves. Sure, the sine wave can exist on its own, has its rightful place, but its deepest utility is found in the ability to express a random wave in terms of it. ;)Karthikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06063174245492980402noreply@blogger.com
