Knowledge and Wisdom

- Bertrand Russell 

Brief and Simple Points:

- The essay is about the difference (भिन्नता) between knowledge (ज्ञान) and wisdom (विवेक).

- According to the writer, Knowledge and wisdom are different things.

- According to him, knowledge is defined as the acquisition (प्राप्ति) of data (तथ्यांक) and information (सूचना) whereas (जबकि) wisdom is defined as the practical application (व्याबहारिक प्रयोग) and use of knowledge to create (सृजना) गर्न) value (मुल्य).

- Wisdom is gained (प्राप्त गरिन्छ) through learning (सिकाई) and practical experience (व्याबहारिक अनुभव), but knowledge is gained through memorization (सम्झेर/घोकेर).

- In fact, knowledge and wisdom are necessary for the completion (पूर्णता) of our  life. One is incomplete without another.
