Knowledge vs Knowing

There is vast difference between knowledge and knowing.

First we will try to understand these two words or terminologies.

Knowledge - means you have come to know through someone, some book, some site through computer about some thing which you store it in your body part called mind/brain. It is just like reading newspaper, veiwing television getting updated about current trends of information. Knowledge denotes getting to know about some thing and storing it in your system for future use.  Knowledge is not an expereience. Knowledge is just gathering all information whatever you get and allocate space in your mind to sit there for futher reference.  Your mind acts like a library.  You are a librarian.  When some body comes and asks for a particular book on a particular topic or subject you refer your index and get him/her her required book from your shelves behind you.  Knowledge, it sees, hears, grasps, accomulates vast amount of data and stores it in the mind for futher reference.  It is just information data store house. Knowledge is just 1% of knowing.  Knowledge is theory yet to be put inot practice. A sort of unused or unpracticed information data collection centre.

Knowing - means experiencing.  When the knowledge is put into use it becomes knowing.  Knowing is a self experience.   Knowing is practical.  Experiencing the knowledge is knowing.  You have come to understanding about both theroy and practical part of that particular topic or theme.  Knowing is 100%.  Now you know inside out through experience.

Knowing about cycle and cycling is knowledge.  Having ridden a bicycle is knowing,  Knowledge put into practice is knowing.  Knowing is the expansion of knowledge. Knowing is an experience.  Experiencing knowldge leads to knowing.

Hence A knowledgble person is the first step where as the person of knowing is in the last step having covered all the steps in the process of knowing.

A knowledgble person can become a teacher, but person of knowing can be a master or guru.

A knowledgble person speaks out of his data bank. A person of knowing does not just speak but expresses his experience through his voice with a feeling and an effect.

Both knowledgable person and person of knowing make use of the same set of words and sentence forms but person of knowledge can convey just the information about it whereas person of knowing conveys the cause and effect of the information in its truest form out of his expereince and words and sentences are delivered effectively with feeling and effect.

Knowledgable persons just conveys his topic through words just with meaning, just a glimse.  A person of knowing expresses himself through words and sentences in such a way he goes beyond words and sentence to convey his experience in a completey wholesome way. Your whole body knows what it is and had experienced it and it is there in each and every cell of the your body rather than just in one body part the brain/mind.

Only knowledgable person can be absent minded - professors.

A man of knowing does not use his mind, his whole body acts collectively in union in a snycronous way so the probability of things going wrong is remote. A man of knowing is always in the present so mind has no role to play.

The expression 'presence of mind' has to be actually 'absence of mind'

When you do not mind things will be alright.

Being in present or presence is a no mind zone.

A man of knowing acts spontaneously without giving a thought.

Life is not a mindy affair it is a heartly affair.

If you go with the mind to understand about life, you will end up just get a glimpse of it.

If you go with a whole hearted way you will come to know about what is life it in its entirity.

Life is not logical, not illogical, but mystical.

Mind can only assimilate matters of logic.

Mystery is not the sphere of mind.

The whole body has to understand about life in its entirity. 

A wholehearted approach leads to understanding the core concept of life as is.
