I read this article ( http://www.well.com/user/jct/mystiq1.htm ) about how U.G Krishna Murthy attained enlightenment. One thing that stood out for me is the way knowledge was not interfering with his process of thinking which made him stay in the de-clutched state.
We all know the cycle of Gnana-ichcha-Kriya (how knowledge leads to desire and then to action) -- we do things every day based on this principle. Things we buy, things we fear and escape from etc all these decisions are influenced by past knowledge. This leads to desire,anger fear etc based on the nature of the knowledge. Then w take action based on that frame of mind - not always the best decisions as they are tainted with past. The best decisions are those that are made in the eternal now.
