Don't confine knowledge only to the books | Arthashastra 268



पुस्तकेषु च या विद्या परहस्तेषु च यद्धनम्।

उत्पन्नेषु च कार्येषु न सा विद्या न तद्धनम् ।।


Pustakeshu Cha yaa Viddyahaa Parhasteshu Cha Yaddhanam |

Uttpanneshu Cha Kaaryeshu Na Saa Viddyaa Na Taddhanam ||


The knowledge that remains confined to the books (and doesn’t get retained in the reader’s mind) and the money that has gone in other’s hand; neither there is any use of that knowledge nor there is any worth of that money. The inference is obvious. Knowledge must have its application to enhance its value like money must be in one’s control to be of any worth.
