About Self Knowledge, as it applies to Vedanta other uses wiktionarypar self knowledge Hindu philosophy Self Knowledge is a major topic in the ancient wisdom tradition Vedanta , and is acquired after the student makes certain preparations, such as the practice of austerities, cultivating calm, freeing oneself from cravings and aversion, and then performs the tma vic ra, or self enquiry ref Adi Shankara , Atma Bodha Self Inquiry , first sloka ref . This knowledge is that all things are one. The consciousness of the individual soul and the soul of God are the same. This knowledge, while normally acquired under the direction of a guru or swami teacher , is not taught in the traditional sense, but is experienced directly by the prepared student, by the process of vipassana insight alone, who performs the vic ra. Self Knowledge in Vedanta Vedanta is a form of monism or advaita non dualism , which sees the world as being all part of a single whole. One of the earliest teachers of Vedanta was Adi Shankaracharya , who wrote commentaries which helped organize and explain the subtle concepts of the Upanishads . Shankara taught that the reason why we suffer in life is because we are seeking happiness, fulfillment, and completeness in the external world of forms, in the form of kama sense pleasure , artha security , and dharma civic duty . As one reaches the last two Ashrama stage stages of life , one realizes that none of these things brought lasting happiness and a sense of completeness. Shankara taught that the source of our suffering is a form of ignorance. Therefore, no action will cure this affliction. The lasting remedy is in the form of knowledge alone, and this is the knowledge of the true nature of Self. Once this knowledge is attained, by direct experience, it is said that one attains a kind of lasting happiness, and this prepares one for transition out of the world of name and form, i.e., death of the body.

A knowledge ark could take the form of a traditional Library or a modern Database computer database . It could also include images only such as photographs of important information, or diagrams of critical processes . A knowledge ark would have to be resistant to the effects of natural or man made disasters to be viable. Such an ark should include, but would not be limited to, information or material relevant to the survival and prosperity of human civilization.

Other types of knowledge arks might include genetics genetic material. With the potential for widespread personal DNA sequencing becoming a reality, an individual might agree to store their genetic code in a digital or analog storage format which would enable later retrieval of that code.
