The best use of knowledge is to make informed decisions, solve problems effectively, and share insights to empower others and foster continuous learning and growth. Knowledge provides the foundation for making sound judgments in personal and professional life, leading to better outcomes and achieving goals. However not many people are habitual of making use of their knowledge properly. Especially the wicked people. Wicked individuals can use their knowledge to deceive, manipulate, or exploit others for their own benefit, often leading to emotional or financial harm. To highlight this human attributes, Sanskrit says :
विद्या विवादाय धनं मदाय शक्तिः परेषां परपीडनाय
खलस्य साधोर्विपरीतमेतज्ज्ञानाय दानाय च रक्षणाय
Vidya vivaaday dhanam madaay shaktih paresham parpeedanaay.
Khalasya saadhorvipreetametajgyaanaay daanaay cha rakshnaay.
Vidya = knowledge.
Vivaad = dispute, controversy.
Dhanam = riches, money.
Madaay = arrogance, excessive pride over any thing, a state of being intoxicated.
Shaktih = power.
Pareshaam = others.
Par = others.
Peedanaay = troubling, giving pain to others.
Khal = a wicked person.
Saadho = a noble and kind person.
Vipreet = opposite.
Etad = theirs.
Gyaanaay = knowledge
Daanay = charity.
Rakshnaay = protecting.
Wicked persons use their knowledge in creating controversies and disputes, their wealth in its vulgar display,and their power in troubling others. On the other hand noble persons do just the opposite i.e. use their knowledge in teaching others, use their wealth in charitable work and their power in protecting the meek.
