People often think that the accumulation of knowledge is equal to the expansion of consciousness. This is not true. One can be a highly equipped scientist but have a very small consciousness, if his heart is not in harmony with the use of his knowledge and if his knowledge does not bring blessings for humanity. Accumulation of knowledge is just like the accumulation of jewels or any other articles. The accumulation of such objects does not mean that the person is growing in his consciousness.
When knowledge increases but the consciousness stays the same, the man enters into the zone of self-destruction. Nothing good comes from a man of limited consciousness, even if he carries loads of information.
