Hari Om Tat Sat

>From Yoga Vasishta, VI.2:20,21

O Rama, one should strive to be a jnani (man of wisdom or direct experience) 
and not a 
"jnanabandhu", a pseudo-jnani. 
Who is a pseudo-jnani? 
He who studies the scripture for pleasure or profit like a sculptor studying 
art, and who 
does not live up to the teaching, is a pseudo-jnani. His scriptural knowledge 
is not 
reflected in his daily life. He is more interested in applying scriptural 
knowledge to 
promote his physical welfare and sensual happiness. 
Hence, I regard an ignorant man as superior to the pseudo-jnani. 
Jnana or wisdom is self-knowledge; other forms of knowledge are but its pale 
reflections.
