KNOWLEDGE!

What is knowledge? How do you understand this concept?I think you will agree with me that it's a very complex fundamental concept which will take you a century to explore.I just want to share with you some ideas that I hope will help your understanding.
"Knowledge is as wings to man's life
and a ladder for his ascent.Its
acquisition is incumbent upon every one."
From the statement above,its said that knowledge is as wings ,like that of birds without which they won't soar into the realm high.Man must needs knowledge.It does not just means studying,going to higher schools,colleges and universities that are all over the world!It means understanding the purpose.How will knowledge be wings?How will it be a ladder,to where?These are the few question that you can contemplate on as you study.
Basically,man is growing from one stage to another,from lower to higher stages.To cross this"civilisation" making progress" he needs a ladder.
How can he show this?Does it means he should go high and study diplomacy,degrees and so on................Offcourse this are neccesarry,and this you will bear me witness that it will take decades for humanity to achieve that degree of growth.Openly,knowledge is conscious process in which individuals[humanity] endowed with new understanding and new vision will work conciously to implement the basic concept,fundamental principles,conceptual foundation and teachings into new patterns of action that will produce eventual fruits.Meaningly,one has to translate the new vision into action or practice.
Seeking knowledge ;true understanding and wisdom,going to school,college and unversities its not a new matter of personal satisfaction! Its definite social purpose.One has to implement what he/she has acquired to other population.What one does wether individual intiative or public or collectvely should and has an effect to the entire population.
Knowledge can be viewed in the action or deeds of an individual.Information,facts,concepts,patterns connectionand hierarchies are all some of the raw materials of knowledge in a given process.If one has all this it means he/she has all the needs but he/she lacks one thing.Does not have a constractor.Its like you have stones.cement,wood,glass all the materials needed to build a house but you don't have a constractor.
Knowledge is only meaningful if accompanied by true understanding."God's greatest gift to man is that of intellect or understanding"Understanding is the power by which man acquire his knowledge of several kingdoms of creation and various stages of existence as well as that which is invissible.

"Understanding is the power by
which man acquire knowledge"
Possesing this gift,he is himself the sum of earlier creation .He si able to get into touch with those kingdoms and by this he can frequently through the scientific knowledge reach out with prophetic vision. We can only reach this stage if we are detached from all things heavenly and earthly wether superstition ,cultural,ethical,economical,politicaland social.
"No man shall attain the shore of the ocean of true understanding except he be detached from all that is in heaven and earth.Sactify your souls o ye people of the world that happly ye may attain that station"
Young people should be motivated to persue knowledge.But motivation to persue knowledge should not be the need to fell superior to others or desire to advance oneself over others.But it should be for individual capacity building and the contribution to transforming the society.Thus when knowledge is accompanied by true understanding,it leads to wisdom which is humanity's unfailing protector and foremost teacher of the school of existence.Knowledge should change the society!

Have an enlightened day!
