[Too much knowledge
Chennai: Sometimes it is possible to have too much knowledge about a lot of things in this world. What we need is atma gnana. To learn many other things may not be of use to us, and may, in fact, even lead to problems.
This is seen in the case of Kaikeyi's father Ashwapati, said M.V. Anantapadmanabhachariar in a discourse. He was the king of the Kekeya kingdom. He was a well-read man and scholar of repute. He even knew a mantra that enabled him to understand the language of animals, birds and insects.
One day, he heard a conversation between two ants, one a male and the other female. The female ant was warning the male not to come anywhere near it. It said that the male ant had no business coming into its dwelling place, when its husband was away.
Did the intruder not know that it was wrong to approach another's wife with lust? And even if it could not distinguish between right and wrong, it had better be warned that the husband of the female ant would soon be back, and then would surely kill the intruder for his wrong intentions.
Hearing the words of the ant, the king laughed, for to him it was amusing that even an ant should show such fidelity to its partner. His wife was curious to know why he laughed. Ashwapati told her that he had heard two ants conversing and that was the reason for his laughter. She asked him what the ants had said. He told her that since he had understood the conversation through a mantra, there was no way he could disclose to her what he had overheard.
In fact, if he did tell her, then his head would burst. A good wife, fearing for her husband's life, would have stopped at this point, and let the matter drop. But the queen insisted that he tell her.
Ashwapati then asked the rishi who had taught him the mantra what he should do. The rishi advised the king to banish the queen. Thus it came about that because of the king's knowledge of animal talk, he lost his mental peace. The knowledge was of no benefit to him. Had he not acquired it, his domestic peace would not have been disturbed. Sometimes too much knowledge is dangerous.] Religion - The Hindu -14 Sep 10

Hindus and Moslem's in India believe in mantras. some universities of other world are spending to research, perhaps millions of dollars, to understand languages of humans and non humans. guru, of religion, can make stories of mantra to understand languages. the guru can make stories of ants, insects, husband-wife. this modern guru does not care to read nature science school books. these gurus of past and presents are experts of half lies.
Deborah Gordon did some research on ants. there are many others too.
but the issue is, the gurus and mullahs are afraid of 'too much knowledge'.
obi tried The Hindu news paper for seven days. enough. he will go back to the Indian express.
