 Only true awakening will bring you happiness, not knowledge of something. Knowledge of something is temporary happiness. But true awakening comes when you transcend all the knowledge. When all knowledge is left behind.

Then true awakening comes.

It makes sense if you think about it. As long as you have knowledge that you've collected, how can you awaken? Knowledge only tells you something exists. It appears to be real. You have the knowledge that you're a woman, you're a man, you live in a house, you live in this world.

You have knowledge of physics or of mathematics, knowledge of life. What can this knowledge do for you? It cannot awaken you.

Yet people are trying to acquire more knowledge, to what avail? What you really want to do is, know your Self, not through knowledge but through experience.
