Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't. ~Mark Twain
'I know everything about it'.
We all play the part of brilliant liars when we speak about the knowledge we assume that we've gained.
What exactly is knowledge?
Any information which makes you realize the fact that you're still an ignorant is knowledge.
Mind me when I say that the world is very informative, each and every living spark on this planet is very informative. But seldom do we find a knowledgeable soul.
Every person, every book, every thing in this existence is capable of providing you with information. But not all can provide you with knowledge.
Knowledge is metaphysical.
Knowledge is the trigger which inspires you to think, and hence, helps you understand.
Nobody in this world can share their own knowledge with you. But of course, the knowledgeable will guide you, will provide you with words, examples which can help you find your own knowledge.
Knowledge for every being is unique. Just like our fingerprints.
But it's fascinating purpose is to keep surprising you.
To keep reminding you about the endless characteristic of things you don't know.
There's always going to be so much we don't know about.
What we don't know about, is always going to be infinity.
But there's always something that is going to be more powerful than knowledge and that is the truth.
Truth isn't different for different people, it's universal. The constant for everyone.
Hence, we're still smarter, still fortunate.
Because we hold on to the ultimate truth of the world.
We hold on to that energy which knows everything, which itself is everything indeed.
We celebrate the universal truth, right from every festival we celebrate , to every small moment of our lives; every time we breathe in and breathe out.
Without any effort, this pretty gospel truth which we all achieve in our lives so easily, is enough to quench our thirst for the infinite.
There's someone out there who knows everything, yet without any ego, that ultimate listens to the rest of the world, runs to you if you call out, accepts anything and everything you present with love and happiness, speaks to you, grows with you, saves you each time you get yourself into trouble, who listen to you no matter what, someone who exists just for you.
And that supreme makes sure that you know the right thing, realize the right thing at the right time.
This is the truth of the ultimate that each one of us feels in the bones. But do we really reach out to it?
Even if we're not knowledgeable beings, if we just accept, understand this optimum simple truth, that yes, there's someone who is willing to help us find our knowledge at the right time, we're always going to be one step ahead.
What's more amazing then having the privilege of celebrating the fact that yes, I don't know anything but I do believe in the truth that somehow I'll have the right knowledge at the right time. I just have to reach out for it.
The old chestnut 'Truth need no proof' is indeed right.
Truth is an abstract celebration about the thrill of curiosity getting extinguished by the unfathomable magic of universal faith.
