Pride of Theoretical Knowledge is the biggest obstacle in the spiritual path. In the spiritual domain, theoretical knowledge can be a dangerous thing. Why? Because it leads to development of pride. Pride of theoretical knowledge happens in the lack of God realization. The Vedas guide us that pride is the biggest obstacle in the spiritual path. We need theoretical knowledge to the extent of removing our doubts and enabling us to move ahead in our spiritual journey. Remember this key difference between theory and realization on the spiritual path as a secret to spiritual growth

Pride of Theoretical is the biggest obstacle in the spiritual path.  We need theoretical knowledge to the extent of removing our doubts and enabling us to move ahead in our spiritual journey.  God cannot be understood by Theoretical knowledge because he is Divine. But the Goal is the realized knowledge.

Swamiji explains the beautiful analogy from the Mundakopnishad. Thank you Swamiji, for this important lecture, and bless us with humility.

I come to know from this wonderful video clip that knowledge on its own is nothing, sometimes it is very dangerous. After the proper implementation of knowledge in life, then it is powerful. Only theoretical knowledge is not sufficient for realization. In the beginning we want theoretical knowledge but ultimately we reach our goal in the help of the realized knowledge only.

Swamiji says that on the one hand, theoretical knowledge of the scriptures is necessary to dispel doubts, select spiritual goals, and to develop faith, devotion, and love for God. However, it is critical that pursuit of knowledge does not result in pride otherwise spiritual growth will be deterred. Once a soul reaches the state of God-realization, then there is no need for theoretical knowledge other than to share with others and help them to grow spiritually. Thank you, Swamiji!

A good reminder to many of us who think that knowledge is interchangeable with Knowledge. The lecture reminds me of what Swami Sivananda has said: "The most important thing about divine life is in the LIVING of, not so much in the KNOWING of it." (pg. 437, [Practical Sadhana: A Discussion] Sadhana by Swami Sivananda).

"All the scriptures of the world will be NO avail unless you have STARTED to create (them) HERE." (pg. 439, [Practical Sadhana: A Discussion] Sadhana by Swami Sivananda).

"Unless one delves within and tries to understand the inner machinery (=mind), one cannot practise sadhana successfully."
(pg. 440, [Practical Sadhana: A Discussion] Sadhana by Swami Sivananda).

What an eye opener! So often, we see pompous reciters of Shlokas who have pride in themselves and lots of intolerance in general towards people around. Yet a saint with true knowledge is very loving and humble. This must be the stage of half knowledge and pride. Sat ka Mad - pride in sattva. The Mundako upanishad analogy of the contraption for aiming at the divine ultimate goal was awesome! Bhaav at the tip of it. The thorn to remove thorn - use thorn of knowledge to remove thorn of analogy is also wonderful, yet consider material knowledge a thorn to be discarded eventually. Divine god can't be understood by any Material means.

Swamiji, very beautiful video clip. The knowledge and devotion are methods and techniques by which understanding of Lord’s nature and devotion for Lord are enhanced. Neither of them, by itself, is capable of realizing the Supreme Truth, because It is beyond the mind and intellect.

The difference between the theoretical and realized (practical) knowledge is so wonderfully explained. Theoretical knowledge in itself may result in pride which is the biggest hindrance to reach the goal of God realization. We need theoretical knowledge in the beginning to clear the doubts to progress on the spiritual path. As one gets the realized knowledge the doubts are dispelled in the mind without the need for theoretical knowledge.

An ignorant person calls a log of wood, a log of wood. Someone with little knowledge calls it names with metaphors and similes. An enlightened person again calls a log of wood, a log of wood. A little knowledge can be dangerous. Thank you Swami ji for this beautiful video clip!

Very nicely explained by Swami Mukundananda ji on the importance of theoretical knowledge. But same theoretical knowledge increases our pride if we do not put it into practice. That's the reason mere theoretical knowledge will not help until we practice. We have ignorance in our hearts from endless lifetimes. In order to remove we need theoretical knowledge. Swamiji gave the example if we get pricked by a thorn, we need another thorn to remove the first one. Same way we need theoretical knowledge and need to put into practice which gives practical realization by removing our ignorance. This helps us in clearing all our doubts. Once we are God realized we can ignore theoretical knowledge which is of no use. But till then we need little bit of theoretical knowledge to move ahead on the path by removing our doubts. There are so many doubts we have, which we need to overcome and move ahead on the path. To practice, for us we need little bit of knowledge which is sufficient. But to teach others needed vast amount of it. Swamiji gave the beautiful example to this explained by Rama Krishna Paramahamsa, in order to kill ourselves we just need a pin, but to kill other person we need sword. At the same time we need to move ahead on the path by clearing our doubts. We have so many doubts from infinite lives because of our ignorance. They can be any kind, Swamiji gave the example of a student who asked teacher where the letters go when he rub it with duster on black board? Doubts can be infinite. Same way infinite God cannot be understand by mere contemplation. That is why we need theoretical knowledge and practical realization to clear our doubts and move ahead on the divine path.

Knowledge of theories in spirituality gives rise to pride but if we apply correctly it can help to remove darkness of mind.
Initially we need theoretical knowledge!!
