Quote by Sri Aurobindo

There are two allied powers in man; knowledge and wisdom. Knowledge is so much of the truth seen in a distorted medium as the mind arrives at by groping, wisdom what the eye of divine vision sees in the spirit.

There are two allied powers in man; knowledge and wisdom. Kn

Summary

This quote suggests that there are two important aspects within individuals: knowledge and wisdom. Knowledge is described as the understanding and awareness gained through observation and learning, but it can be influenced by various biases and limitations. On the other hand, wisdom is portrayed as a deeper perception gained through spiritual insight and divine understanding. While knowledge may be obtained through trial and error, wisdom originates from a higher, more intuitive source. Essentially, the quote highlights the distinction between acquiring factual information and attaining a deeper, wiser insight about the world.

If the factory people outside the colleges live under the discipline of narrow means, the people inside live under almost every other kind of discipline except that of narrow means -- from the fruity austerities of learning, through the iron rations of English gentlemanhood, down to the modest disadvantages of occupying cold stone buildings without central heating and having to cross two or three quadrangles to take a bath.
