Which is better, to be impure and knowledgable or pure and unknowledgeable ?
Good discussion going on.
Definitely second is the better. This is the stage of deities or children whom all like.
I would like to continue where I had stopped.
Half Knowledge is Dangerous:- There is a saying that half knowledge is dangerous. I think this saying is also not from spiritual side. It is from worldly people.
Let me try to explain this:-
a)From lowkik or worldly point of view, this is not correct to full extent. One may have half knowledge of cooking or washing. It is not dangerous. It will be problamatic only if he is given the job of cooking. Else there is no problem at all. How can it be dangerous?
b)Let me explain from spiritual point of view. A child(as well as deities in heaven) does not have knowledge of either soul or body. It does not know about whether it is male, female, Hindu, Muslim, rich, poor, etc. An elderly person gets The Knowledge of body(male, female, Hindu, Muslim, etc). But he does not have The Knowledge of soul. This half knowldege(just of body), has created danger in the society. Spirituality gives The Knowledge of soul and body in simple way to understand and directs to get rid of body consciousness. Soul consciousness eliminates the danger. In soul consciousness, there is knowledge of both soul and the body. The soul considers itself as separate than body.
If a person has just half knowledge(bodyconscious), then there is danger at least to certain extent. he will be doing sin in his mind and impure vibration will come from him which will be disturbing others. That is why people always like children or old people who have less ego. Youths are loved only by their family members or relatives.
There are two things, karma and Yoga. Today man has knowledge of just karma. Hence it is half knowledge and dangerours. Spirituality says to include Yoga in karma and then we become fully knowledgeful. So what I mean is, even the wordly knowledge cannot be explained just in worldly way. Spirituality is needed to make things clear.
Regarding Bansy's quote above, I would like to say that knowledge is the food and Yoga is digesting it. When one digests the food(knowledge), it becomes power and it is stored as purity in the soul. We need knowledge to to Yoga. But we should start practising The Knowledge(Yoga) accordingly as we receive it. Else, it is like food undigested. This is the problem with majority of BKs(including me, numberwise) and Baba also explains this in Murli. Due to this indigestion, BKs become weak and get inferiority complex or superiority complex(ego) and is visible. So there should be
balance between knowledge and Yoga. Else it is waste of time, money and energy. But there is something more about Yoga. It can generate new things(new knowledge points emerge in mind). It is a subject which is part of power of thoughts.
