Rhythm, don't be hasty. I quote from Imam Jaffar:
The knowledge is the basis of every sublime state and the culmination of every high station. That is why the Holy Prophet said, 'It is the duty of every Muslim, man and woman, to seek the knowledge,' that is, the knowledge of precaution/guarding (taqwa) and certainty(in God and his signs). Imam 'Ali (‘a) said, “Seek the knowledge, though it be in China,” meaning the knowledge of gnosis of the self, in it is contained knowledge of the Lord.
The Holy Prophet said, 'Whoever knows his own self knows his Lord; moreover, you should acquire that knowledge without which no action is correct, and that is sincerity ... We seek refuge with Allah from knowledge which has no benefit', that is, from knowledge which is contrary to actions performed with sincerity.
