Knowledge and Wisdom

Knowledge is limited, wisdom is universal. However, during a satsang Sri Sri Ravi Shankar gave a deep insight into the difference and similarity between knowledge and wisdom -

‘Gurudev, what is the difference between knowledge and wisdom?’

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

‘It is we who give meaning to words and definitions. So it is up to you; if you think knowledge is information and wisdom is to integrate it in life, then that is one way to look at it. Some people don’t see any difference between knowledge and wisdom.’

When a great spiritual master such as Ambassador of Peace, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar gives knowledge, it is wisdom. When he gives wisdom, it is knowledge.
