There are three forms of knowledge

Love.
There are three forms of knowledge.
The first is intellectual knowledge,
which is in fact not knowledge but information only,
and the collection of facts and the use of these
to arrive at further intellectual concepts.
The second is emotional knowledge
which also is really not knowledge
but feeling of the mental states in which man feels
he has known something,
but there is no transformation or mutation of his
being.

The first is objective and out of it science is born,
and the second is subjective and is the source of all art.
The third is neither;
it is beyond both,
and this third is the real.
It is achieved through meditation
because meditation does not use thinking and feeling
as doors of perception –
really these are not doors of perception
but forces of projection;
through them pure knowing is impossible,
whatsoever comes through them is changed and
coloured by them.
So unless one is free from all projections
one cannot know THAT-WHICH-IS.
When there are no ripples of thought and emotion
in the consciousness, then and only then
dawns the third form of knowledge,
and this third is the only real knowledge.
Out of it religion is born,
and out of it is total transformation.
