Today, the pandit's pride appears in new forms: • spirituality as content • wisdom as branding • philosophy as identity • "I know Advaita" as ego badge • collecting teachers without practice Shankara would still say: Bhaja Govindam. Kabir would still say: Read love, not books alone. The Hard Question Not "How much do you know?" But: • Are you freer? • Are you humbler? • Are you kinder? • Has ego reduced? If not… knowledge has become bondage.
