In plain words
We take this so-called superficial knowledge and put it into some worldly knowledge. That itself is general knowledge. When do we put this general knowledge to right use? This general knowledge becomes useful only when there is discrimination knowledge. Without discrimination knowledge, general knowledge is of no use. What lies in the part ahead of this so-called general knowledge stays close to the … divine power. That itself is practical knowledge. He who has this practical knowledge can truly be called intelligent. A man with this practical knowledge is rare today. … ninety out of a hundred have bookish knowledge. And 80% have superficial knowledge. But in general knowledge they stand simply at zero. Because they do not use common sense. Only when we have both general knowledge and common sense do we gain discrimination knowledge. Today, where there is common sense there is no general knowledge. Where there is general knowledge there is no common sense. Then, when we place discrimination knowledge in its proper home, within it to some extent is practical knowledge. Those with this practical knowledge are some 2 or 3 percent.
Students! Today arguments are growing great within bookish knowledge itself, the acquaintance with books. What question to put, what answer would be correct for it: even this is not known. So within this bookish knowledge we do not gain right learning. If you are to gain knowledge joined with true humanity, you must enter the spiritual path itself. Learning without spiritual learning is a useless learning. Of a man who has worldly studies but no spiritual learning, it was said, 'a demon with brains'. So we are turning into demons of this kind, but we do not try to take shape as the Divine. Whatever matter one looks at, it is argue and argue. At one time I wrote a poem … logic. 'Lady Logic is a barren woman: will she conceive and bear a child?' That is, she is barren. How can such a woman conceive again and have a child? … for the man who argues there is no chance of a real child being born. He cannot enter the holy, ideal path.
