A little Knowledge is not enough. Partial truths remove partial ignorance,

 

A little Knowledge is not enough. Partial truths remove partial ignorance,

we have enough of partial truths , but misery continues, mystery persists.

total knowledge is the requirement to remove total ignorance, 

to gain total mastery, to be in freedom ever

I understand darkness on two levels

1---physical--Darkness all is ever pervading.--see the space infinite, excepting a few galaxies it is infinite darkness 

rightly --it is the "darkness" that contains everything... including the "light".----the galaxies are contained in infinite expanse of darkness---this is inescapable truth--i am not glorifying, it's a glory by itself

2---psychological --using darkness to symbolize catastrophe, ignorance, dullness etc. this is just a tool , a metaphor/simile for poetic expression of feelings

so, also one rightly said --- "darkness", since because it contains the light too with in it, treats light as its child and gives way for "light" to get the glory.

galaxies before born, it was only the empty space, mother of which the light emitting suns stars were children. 

it has a point of view , nice and has a truth 

we refer here the knowledge as light and ignorance as darkness --ok in its usual idiom in our conversation.

masters 's language is always mysterious to seekers, they express words which have meaning ,beyond the literal , having its own contextual profundity 

summing up , all is ok, but we must go to the ultimate of all knowledge, the absolute, 

knowing which, no trace of ignorance is left for ever ,

requiring no debate , arguments and commentaries 

and start living the life of enlightened gnyani ,the absolute, and achieve that level 

and not stop at oil lamp or candle light, not even flood light, 

but to the brightest sunlight, the pure awareness, the dispeller of all darkness

i  realize partial truths are valuable too, yes, helping me to earn and stay alive.

but , it's due to my lack of not knowing the total knowledge, in earliest in life, that i became dependent on partial, unable to conquer ahaara, nidra, bhaya, remained dependent on essentials, food, cloth, shade

ancient valmiki lived beyond these, how?
recent akka mahadevi lived beyond these ,how?

so total knowledge eliminates the need for parial knowledge , by better ways, without struggle for existence, ayur ,aarogya, aiswarya coming to us just wishing , not doing any thing 

it is this lack needs to be fulfilled, 
otherwise with partial knowledge one may earn black money , command all the best luxury . yet he has to be in jail, in shame, in misery

that is the value of partial in compare with total knowledge,

yateenaam brahma bhvathi sarathi, ----fulfilling his every wish, this is the great wisdom, knowing which every thing becomes known
