The poet Kabir says:
What good is it if the scholar pores over words and points of this and that but his/her chest is not soaked dark with love?
What good is it if the ascetic clothes himself/herself in saffron robes but is colourless within?
What good is it if you scrub your ethical behaviour till it shines,but there is no music inside?
Disciple: What's the difference between knowledge and enlightenment?
Teacher:When you have knowledge you use a torch to show the way.When you are enlightened you become a torch
