I have often not cared for opinion from others on a particular topic, when I have felt their knowledge of the topic is intellectually inferior to that of mine.  I know for sure that money too brings a certain level of arrogance to the holder.  This article is to draw up a comparative chart as to what happens when knowledge increases; to the level of arrogance.  Similarly, when money increases, ....

Let us first look at money.  Stages in money making are little surplus; reasonable assets, affluent, ultra rich and Mukesh Ambani.

The little surplus wala wants knowledge but negotiates too much.  Level of arrogance is only to the extent of negotiation.

The reasonable assets person wants knowledge only to the extent he can get more assets and his entertaining knowledge has nothing to do with genuine appreciation of knowledge.  

Affluent have no respect.  They believe that knowledge is there to make them rich and they throw ... at the knowledgeable.  

The Ultra rich want to hire knowledge

Mukesh Ambani would perhaps both hire knowledge and would like to be in company of knowledge too.  

What does it say about arrogance of money... That arrogance reduces when persons become richer but knowledgeable have to really suffer at the hands of those down the ladder.  The knowledge sphere gets reduced in the ultra rich circle, since accessibility to them would naturally get reduced.  

This scenario is pathetic.

Let us now look at the arrogance of knowledge.  

Knowledge levels under consideration are also a scale of five. Level one tends to spread positivity all around and there is not much need for arrogance.  

Level Two recognizes that there is arrogance of money and therefore, knowledge tries to live with it.  

Level three clashes Moneys two and Three.  Life is actually difficult for Level Three.  

Level Four knowledge may not be achieved; although the person has potential.  The conversion from Level Three to Four is drastically reduced not for lack of knowledge, but that of systems failure.  A very large number gets disgruntled....

Those who reach level 4 knowledge, however, are arrogant enough not to care, even for ultra rich.

Level five has no arrogance.  And no space for Mukesh Ambani...!!

For knowledge therefore, it is a V.  There is little money at the beginning.  It will start dwindling if arrogance is coupled with knowledge increase.  Bottom of V is no money because knowledge and arrogance are both dominant.  Only if we start a growth path on knowledge V after reaching the bottom level, knowledge tastes success (of course not in terms of money).  It is worth reaching the final end of the V.    

Once you reach the final end of V, WHAT IS MONEY?...!!

I recall a small story of Saint Thyagaraja!  A king in his time asked Saint Thyagaraja to compose and sing in praise of the King. Saint Thyagaraja refused to sing for any mortal being, and, therefore, refused, even if he gets the kingdom for it!  Is it his arrogance of knowledge?  Apparently, he had to undergo a great sufferings and many a days he had to go without two square meals!  One day, he had not even a grain at home and he and his wife had to settle with water!  That was the time, a couple with their servant knocked the door, sought his permission to stay overnight and asked him to serve them food!  Saint Thyagaraja was in great agony and relayed his position to the couple, to that the couple said we have adequate food material to cook and our servant will cook the food and serve all of us!  After the sumptuous dinner, the couple along with the servant disappeared!  That was Sri Rama, Sitha and Hanuman!  Such was the conviction of Saint Thyagaraja of his knowledge, not allowing his knowledge to be exploited for the mortal beings!
