What (1)

“Knowledge”


What is known by man and woman is knowledge. Knowledge known by man and woman is varied. Knowledge known by man and woman is about daily life and various subjects, including science and religion.

What is known by man and woman, which is knowledge, is nevertheless without controversy, arguments, debate and their unwanted consequence. What is known by man and woman, which is knowledge, is also without controversy. It is agreed, harmonious and without unwanted consequence as well, until controversy arises.

What is known by man and woman, which is knowledge, conditions man and woman that what is known is achieved by them by hard work, effort and through personal experience.

Man and woman with wisdom regarding what is known are free from controversy in every moment of daily life. What is the wisdom regarding ‘what’ is known, is the question?

Wisdom reveals that a moment in life is always present. Wisdom reveals that a moment, which is always present in life, is precise. Wisdom reveals that the content, which is within any moment, is precise as well.

Wisdom reveals that the content, which is within any moment, cannot be other than the content which is in the moment. Wisdom reveals that the timing of the content is always precise as well.

Wisdom in life reveals that the content within the moment is neither late nor early. Wisdom in life reveals that the content of any moment in life is always precisely on time.

Wisdom in life reveals that the content of the moment is the known, albeit illusory, because, in a moment, only particular sound appears as the known. Wisdom in life reveals that what is known, albeit illusory, in any moment cannot be another known besides what is known in the moment.

Wisdom in life reveals that man and woman do not make any moment in life. Wisdom reveals that the moment in life was in life much before man and woman were in life. 

Wisdom reveals that man and woman can only know, besides what is known, if they were able to make any moment in life. Knowledge, which has evolved, deceives man and woman that they can know what they want to know. However, evolution of the moment and its content in life is not under the control of man and woman

Knowledge takes what is known for granted and, therefore, has controversy and consequence. Wisdom understands that what is known as knowledge in the moment is a gift by the intelligence in life to man and woman to recognise what happens in daily life.

The enlightened have rightly proclaimed that man and woman will come to know what they are meant to know.

Editor’s Note:
Knowledge of whatever needs to be known is man’s practical guide in daily life. It has become the guiding light on his or her journey in life, albeit illusory. What is known or comes to be known can be conveyed in live speech, recorded speech, recorded in print, memorised accurately or inaccurately, forgotten or even disputed. It has never been, is not, nor can ever be incontrovertible truth. It may, however, prove to be an obstacle to incontrovertible truth until….until that is, on his or her journey, he or she happens to meet a wise man: the dawning of self-realisation.
