SPIRITUAL KNOWLEDGE

                     In the world today, knowledge falls into three categories. 

(1) In terms of daily life, there is factual knowledge based 

on perception. To treat facts as truth and fiction as 

untruth is practical knowledge. 

(2) In the second category are those who regard the 

phenomenal world as real and treat all that cannot be 

seen or heard as unreal or non-existent. They regard 

Nature as real and God as non-existent. 

(3) The third category consists of those who make no 

distinction between one thing and another and hold 

the view that the whole universe is a projection of the 

Divine and is permeated by the Divine. 

This is spiritual knowledge. 

Doubtless, knowledge of the phenomenal world is 

necessary. But one should go beyond it to know the 

Eternal and Unchanging Reality. 

Education is not the be-all and end-all of life; It is only 

a part of it. 

Virtues are the backbone of life and spiritual path is 

the only means of cultivating it.

Sri Sathya Sai Baba
