Jnana (Knowledge)

1 – There are two allied powers in man: knowledge and wisdom. Knowledge is so much of the truth, seen in a distorted medium, As a mind arrives at by groping; wisdom what the eye of divine vision sees in the spirit.  

Sri Aurobindo

Wisdom is the vision of truth in its essence and of its application in the manifestation.
