"Knowledge" is a powerfull thing. To have knowledge enables one to be acutely aware of oneself and the world around him to the extent of recognizing how far you can go [for instance] to the edge of a cliff without being ignorant to possibility of falling over.

It means that the most important thing you can know, is how little you know. Nobody knows everything, and the wisest people not only know this to be true, but realise that they themselves don't know everything either.

There are a finite number of things that can be known. and unless you learn all the things you don't know about your knowledge is incomplete and therefore wrong.

Hindus believe that the world is not real but?

Hinduism says that the world is not real but merely an illusion. According to Hinduism, the 'Parmatma' i.e the divine all knowing spirit forgets its true nature and draws on the cloak of ignorance to become the 'Jeevatma', namely, you and me, and the world as we see it is merely an illusion, 'Maya', to support this ignorance. The ignorance mentioned here alludes to our notions of birth and death. An excellent English text which will help you with regard to this question is 'Self Unfoldment' by Swami Chinmayananda.


What does this quote mean- Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people?

I'll try to answer it as best I can. First, realize that nature abhors a vacuum, and if one person chooses not to think for them self, then naturally, someone else is going to think for them. The real power and freedom is found when one is not subject to another, but rather, is a steward unto ones self. This is where "Knowledge is Power" comes into play. It doesn't only mean that with knowledge comes opportunities, but with knowledge comes the ability to be truly free instead of being subject to another.


What are the three areas of inquiry in ancient philosophy?

The ancient philosophers asked all the right fundamental questions. They asked about the nature of reality. What is it to be real? What are the kinds of entities that are real? They invented ontology (metaphysics). They asked about the nature of our apprehension of reality. What is knowledge? How do we come to know what is real? What are the limits of knowledge? They invented epistemology (the theory of knowledge). They asked about value. What should we do? How should we make value judgments? They invented axiology (the study of value).

What does this quote mean- you are never given a dream without the power to make it come true?

This quote carries quite a few assumptions. As stated, it means that dreams are given to the dreamer by a supernatural being that also provides the dreamer with the ability to make the dream manifest in the real world. However, the quote does NOT distinguish a "dream" that occurs during sleep from a "dream" in the sense of a hope or goal for the future. The quote does not specify who the giver of dreams might be or how that giver also provides power to make dreams come true. There is nothing about this quote to indicate that it is anything but a pretty sentiment of the sort commonly found on greeting cards.

Can knowledge be a burden rather than a benefit?

In terms of "thinkers", yes, knowledge can be a burden and sometimes sad or unpleasant. The more you think, the more you think you know, the more you begin to see why ignorance is bliss. The more you experience, the more you know, the more you begin to see why ignorance is not bliss. But when you look deeper you see the difference between knowledge and wisdom. Using this unpleasant acquired knowledge and turning it into something that you can benefit from requires wisdom. It is easily explained but harder to grasp. How can you benefit from unpleasant knowledge that is becoming more apparent as you grow older? There is no real way to teach it but through personal experience. I am not wise, I know my opinions and answers are not fully correct. But one day I will be, it will come to me just as my enlightenment will, and that my friend is something to look forward to :)
