Knowledge comes from books and experience; Wisdom is revealed within...

(Lord Krishna is being carved in wood, here.....)

No matter how many books and articles one reads, one cannot experience the knowledge it bring within when one is not ready to receive such knowledge...you know..the "AHA! moment...still the mind questions, when it's ready, the mind receives.

You said it!!!! :)
