Dzogchen (from Wikipedia): Vidya and all its cognates imply consciousness, knowing, Knowledge, Science, intelligence and so on

A revelatory quote from Dzogchen from Wikipedia: 

 A text from the Heart Essence of Vimalamitra called the Lamp Summarizing Vidyā (Rig pa bsdus pa’i sgronma) defines vidyā in the following way: "...vidyā is knowing, clear, and unchanging" In Sanskrit, the term vidyā and all its cognates imply consciousness, knowing, knowledge, science, intelligence, and so on. Simply put, vidyā means unconfused knowledge of the basis that is its own state.[21]
