Knowledge means knowing things in an appropriate and better way. A man of knowledge can understand the circumstances more wisely and can therefore decide things favorably. Knowledge inspires confidence and courage to act at the right time. A man of knowledge possesses immense influence in society. He has the capacity to lead society, mold it in a positive direction, and keep it away from the many social evils. A man of knowledge can turn the sleeping people into a thundering force.

The time has gone when the power of the sword ruled the world. Even during that period, the power of the sword alone never ruled, but knowledge about the enemy, knowledge about one’s own strength, and knowledge of the right time to attack always played a crucial role in grabbing the power. In other words, knowing what to do at what time, in what direction, and how, are the various parameters that lead to sure success. Knowing the timing well, knowing our goals well, knowing our strengths and weaknesses well, and shaping them in the right direction, we can achieve what we aspire to achieve. Knowledge gives power to mobilize things in the right direction, and so it is said that knowledge is power.

If one ventures to establish any business or wishes to achieve any goal, he must acquire full knowledge of all things, including his own limitations and weaknesses. Knowledge gives one the capacity and capabilities to know the result of his actions, the probability of success and failure, and the propriety of his venture, and so knowledge is said to be a power.

For a country, knowledge about its friends and foes and the capabilities of its enemies is very important. In the present world scenario, many satellites and spy aircraft are deployed for the purpose of gaining maximum knowledge of activities going on in other countries. A country having the maximum and most accurate knowledge of other countries can use them to its advantage; it is “knowledge” that rules the world. Knowledge gives one immense power; as it is rightly said, ‘Knowledge is power’.
