Knowledge

Knowledge, the giant tree
The shapeless mighty
None can see,
None can cut
Only can learn, acquire
by following previous wise someone
or contemplation on every part of nature

I born to come
To this giant amorphous tree
Powerful its roots, trunks, crowns
(branches, twigs, leaves, flowers, fruits, flowers, winds, shadows)
(though I don't see but can imagine sure)

Sometimes I think
I understand the knowledge
But I find me standing under the shadow of the tree;
But chariot of time proves me
my under-standing is wrong,
Because, the shadow of the knowledge tree
becomes disappear
O' it's MIS-UNDER-STANDING!
(The projecting scorching sunlight and stormy rain
destroy my peaceful place!)

Sometimes I think
I understand the knowledge truly
I find me exact standing beside the trunk of the tree
But chariot of time proves me
my under-standing is selfish, allows only my intuitions;
Because Under Standing of the knowledge tree
becomes only for me and my follower literally
though there are many under-standers
The projecting stormy rain
destroys my peaceful place and unity

Sometimes I realize
I need to obtain this tree fully
When I go to get hold of this then cut it to build a palace
And I find easily through the all times
the palace by this mighty giant tree allows all
without any single division, thorny fence;
unites all without any fabrication, hindrance

True knowledge does not know divisions, shows the path of unity
Where each for others opens the door of sympathy 


***
NOTE:-
Sometimes we think we are near to knowledge but this nearing is like the standing under the shadow of the tree, it's Mis-Under-Standing ofknowledge but the time proves it wrong because the shadow becomes disappear by the course of time chariot;

Understanding of knowledge is like standing under the trunk of the tree but sometimes this under-standing becomes selfish for not allowing others positions (understanding)

Knowledge is knowledge; need full realizations, knowledge does not know divisions, if we built a home by the knowledge tree it really gives a great unity for all

Quoth Theraven October 12, 2019 at 10:59 PM Mahtab, This tree you described can lead to knowledge. I need such a tree. I have much to learn, I understand. You understand that you have much to learn. I understand that we can learn together. And that's the way it should be. -Richard
