I enjoyed our readings for the beginning of this week quite a bit. I really like the idea of knowledge and action as one in the same, a process. When I was reading about the differences between knowledge and action as presented by Kumarila and Sankara, I kept thinking that while the differences are inherent and true, there is also a lot to be said for the way the two work together. Obtaining knowledge in the first place involves action, and the act of engaging in some action inadvertently results in a gain of knowledge. Take riding a bike for example. You obtain knowledge while engaging in the action. One cannot exist without the other, processing knowledge is an action.
