Scriptures are not weapons to establish one's superiority - Ashtavakra

Purpose of Knowledge
Knowledge is power. Hence knowledge is meant for the benefit of the
totality. If knowledge becomes a means to fatten one’s ego, and if
knowledge is used as a sword of destruction, the very purpose of
knowledge is lost. Beware for such wrongly wielded knowledge that
destroys the very wielder.

अष्टावक्र
The purpose of knowledge is presented through the story of young
Ashtavakra, and Bandi - the scholar in King Janaka's court. On
repeated asking, when Ashtavakra hears from his mother Sujata that
his father - Rishi Kaahod was once defeated by Bandi in Janaka's
court, and had to give up his life to fulfil the condition laid
down by Bandi, Ashtavakra resolves to educate Bandi and other
scholars in Janaka's court on the purpose of knowledge.
When Bandi is defeated and when he rises to end his life,
Ashtavakra forgives him, and declares that the scriptures are not
weapons to establish one's superiority, but are to be used for
welfare of humanity.
