not knowledge

Imported quote 18514 So this is jnana. But we are wasting our time-this jnana, that jnana. But real jnana, there is no. We are being educated, so-called scientific education. Just like one is studying the earth, soil expert. One is studying the water. One is, chemical-"What are the chemicals composition of water? What is the chemical composition...?" In this way we are acquiring jnana. But that is not jnana. That is called technology, silpa-naipunya. In Sanskrit it is called silpa-naipunya. That is not jnana. Real jnana is atma-darsanam. That is jnana. So... But we are wasting our time temporary, silpa-darsanam. But atma-darsanam we want. That is real jnana.
(More...) Imported quote 22752 Prabhupada: Just like if you paint a picture, rose, you are a painter, not that you know the knowledge. A painter is not a man of knowledge. Man of knowledge means he knows how things are being done. That is man of knowledge. Painter imitates some painting, that's all. He may be a good painter, but a painter is never taken as man of knowledge. I think, therefore, two departments: art and science. So these knowledge, this technical knowledge... Suppose one man has created an aeroplane. That is an art; that is not knowledge.
