PURPOSE OF OUR KNOWLEDGE

Dr.T.V.Rao MD
Many of the educated earn our living, with the foundations in our knowledge, by service, teaching and see the
system is running for the betterment of the world. If you think as common man we do not mean anything
more than self-little to the many in the world we spend all this time trying to know what the point of life is,
what the purpose of this world is. Everything we think about, we're trying to gain knowledge of something. But
it's time to question the question itself, what's the point of knowing what the purpose of life is? What's the
point of getting all those knowledge? The men with wisdom have started sharing the knowledge FOR THE
BETTERMENT OF HUMANITY, The communication of knowledge and ideas is intrinsic to the human condition.
Our earliest ancestors had a rich oral tradition, through which they passed on what they knew about the
world, often across great distances. Our systems of communication have evolved and matured, from those
oral traditions to the earliest cuneiform writings and all the way up through books and newspapers, to radio
and television. In the recent past we walked into the world wide web, Internet, which has Changes world of
Sharing, With the advent of the modern age and Al Gores gift of the Internet, were now able to share our
knowledge, ideas, and lots and lots of cute pictures of humans nature, around the world in less time than it has
taken me to write this sentence. Today, the avenues available to our quest to gain and share knowledge are
boundless, but Id like to share with you my own personal favourites. Maybe trying to know everything is just
another obsession that we humans seek, such as money, power, etc.... Instead of spending all our time and
effort trying to be richer or more powerful, we spend all our time trying to gain more knowledge. However the
best knowledge is walking from false hood to reality. Thus the true purpose of knowledge is to eliminate all
false notions. Up until now we have based our lives upon certain concepts, many of which are false, and
therefore the activity arising from them is also false. Some of those false concepts are that we are the body, or
that money gives us security, or that all pleasures derived through our sense organs can make us truly happy.
When we awaken to true Knowledge, however, all of our sufferings come to an end, and this Knowledge in
Sanskrit is called jnana. And is it really any better than all the other supposedly "material" things? As Wolfman
points out, knowledge and wisdom can be tools to help one reach further goals. But let us question your
question and ask why we should accept the underlying assumption that knowledge must have a purpose
beyond itself in order to make it worth pursuing. Some ends are exactly that: ends -- i.e., terminal points in the
chain of desire. Today we are not able to serve, not because there is no love, but because the sense of oneness
is not there. This vision of oneness is called true Knowledge or Wisdom. Throughout our formal education, we
must be led to this highest Knowledge, which will bring about a transformation within ourselves. Many times
we do not understand or underestimate our potentials and reluctant to share anything in us with many in the
world. If one person changes, he can change the world around him. Although there have been few saints and
sages, yet each of them has had a great influence upon many people. The wise man hates none and is a friend
to all. When that vision of oneness comes, our lives will be totally changed. Do not wait for others to change,
begin with yourself. You are the world and the world is not different from you. Change your attitude, and your
vision of the world will change. Everything will be peaceful and good. This is the non-dualism of Vedanta. This
is the highest Knowledge and true Wisdom. THE BEST LIVES HAVE A PURPOSE TO SHARE THEIR KNOWLEDGE
WITH MANY IN SPITE OF MANY OBSTACLES AND CHALLENGES? I TRULY BELIEVE GOD GIVES US MORE
STRENGTHS THAN MANY LIVING ONES ON THE PLANET, NEVER FORGET GOD HAS GIVEN HIGHEST CAPACITY
TO CHANGE MANY MATTERS IN THE WORLD, THE REST IS YOUR CHOICE WHETHER FOR GOOD OR BAD ? LIVE
WITH A PURPOSE TO MAKE BETTER USE OF YOUR KNOWLEDGE.
