Who Wins Out Of An Argument Between Yoga Knowledge And Western Knowledge?

In the western world, knowledge is the accumulation of facts (roughly defined).

In the yoga world, knowledge is the accumulation of energy, purification, empowerment and uplifting.

So western knowledge is all about knowing external things. What is gravity? What does a skin cancer look like?

Yoga knowledge is all about knowing your physical and internal self. How well do I feel? Why do I get angry about that?

Western knowledge is an inactive knowledge, held in data and books. The more data and books, the more knowledge.

Yoga knowledge is an active knowledge, held within your body. The more energy and the more you know your physical and internal self, the more knowledge.

Western wisdom is the successful application of knowledge (facts to things).

Yoga wisdom is the application of things we know (knowledge) are good for us, and the avoidance of things we know (more knowledge) are bad for us.

We are on the same journey. This is just stuff to know along the way, J
