Knowledge

To know is knowledge. To know about what? To know about man, material, etc. But how do we gain knowledge?

Man starts learning since his birth. Scientists have even proved that a baby learns from the days of its mother's womb. To support that statement, we have a mythological story where Abhimanyu learnt his first half lesson about the art of war when he was in her mother's womb Subhadra. It was lord krishna who was telling the story.
Man is a bundle of flesh when he is born. None of our five senses will be working properly. A new born baby's eye sight will be blurr initially. It can notice only dark colors. So is the case with other four senses. The sense of taste starts working the moment baby starts drinking the Milk. Initially baby will not even understand that it is suppose to drink the Milk when it is feeling hungry. Because both Milk and feeling of hungriness is very nave to it. It is here where we first start to accumulate the knowledge. As the baby passes the age, all its senses starts working better and better so is the cognition of knowledge and at the age of 7 they will have their first cut of impression about this world.
Now let us for a moment try to understand how do we learn. Man typically learns through his experiences. When we see an object, the light which falls on the object and reflects, falls on our eyes, and it reaches our brain nerves. It is here where we actually see the object. And if you see it for many times there happens a Synaptic connection which helps you to remember that object. The Eye, which is a sense organ was believed to be the place where man sees the object which was later disproved by other scientists. In the similar fashion we listen, taste, smell and hear. Our mind stores the information as images. That is why it is quick to learn for the children if you show them an object associating the word. That is why they show the image of an Apple in the book. Thus we keep accumulating the knowledge day by day.
