True Knowledge

                                           True Knowledge

Yajnavalkya is the well known scholor in ancient India. Mitrayi is his wife. She is also his student. She was having the ambition of acquiring Brahma Jnana which her husband knows. She was asking her husband to teach the lesson.
Yajnavalya till now has not told anybody about that. But how can he tell no to wife? He came with an idea. He called his wife . He told his wife that he will teach her Brahma Jnana but on a condition that she must obey him. She can take all the wealth he has.
Mitrayi thought for a moment. She said "Do you think all this wealth has helped you to acquire the knowledge? You had studied well. If anyone can get knowledge just by noticing it or by telling that you know that ,then the knowledge will get spoiled."
Yagnavalkya  began to think. He realised what his wife is telling is true. Just by keeping the knowledge to oneself, doesnt help. We must share what we know with others
