Knowledge is power. But this knowledge is becoming very powerless these days. There never has been a time in the past where knowledge got so limited with plethora of it, with sea of it. An ocean of knowledge being streamed down to us today, being percolated down and it is made available to us. But aren’t we feeling totally knowledge-less at the end of the day? Aren’t we forced to think: I wish I wasn’t exposed to ‘so much’ of information. So, you can say that information is just information. Knowledge is something that can be secluded, put aside from the information.

But what is happening is, the ‘bits and pieces of information’ here and there, without having had ‘much’ of background check—coming to us as if it is the truth. And being percolated down left, right, and center, without having those information gone through any rigorous check! That is actually causing a lot of upheaval in terms of transferring information in an accurate way.

So what is much more significant is not knowledge, not at all! The most informed mind in today’s world is ‘a most stupid mind’. Isn’t it? It’s a mind that has got inputs, but the input is not insight. If the input is not converted into insightfulness, it is a waste. It is a container of information. It is ‘reservoir’ of information. That reservoir is a ‘trash’, it stinks.

And we are totally beguiled at times by images: digital images that actually sap our energy. Before we are able to imbibe information, before being informed, we need to be formed. I repeat myself. Before we are being informed, we need to be formed in order to have the information, in order to be informed.

A well-formed mind is much more significant than a well-informed mind! A well-formed mind is much more significant than a well-informed mind. We need and we are entering into a new renaissance where a well-formed mind could be totally devoid of all the information but can reach at the peak of creativity. A well-formed mind will act out of grace, will act out of the demand of this present moment.

Well-informed mind will act from ‘memorized, conditioned mindset’. A well-informed mind will only rattle off facts and figures but will never be able to gaze through why things happened. It’s ‘only the well-formed mind’ can have the ‘precociousness’ and that ‘ingenuousness’ in order to gaze through why it happened the way it happened. A well-formed mind is you being at the helm of the affair rather than ‘other way around’. You being ‘at the center of it’. You ’in charge’ of your life as you are the captain of your own ship!
