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 -Friday, July 26, 2019 Chattogram

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
