Gyanam Paramam Dhyeyam
(Gyan or Knowledge is the Supreme Goal)
Tamaso Ma Jyotirgamaya
(Take me from Darkness to Light)
Light has been widely used, both culturally and philosophically, to represent Gyan or Knowledge.
Light has attributes, Light from one source is different from the Light from another source.
Sunlight is different from Moonlight. Some sources of Light soothe us, some others make us uneasy and tense.
Moreover, the intensity of Light sources changes with time.
What about Knowledge? Does it also have attributes? Are there different kinds of Knowledge?
If yes, do different kinds of Knowledge have different effects on us?
Does the Knowledge coming out of different sources change with time?
If yes, then Knowledge cannot be the Truth since That is unchangeable.
It is these questions that I am trying to answer this time during the Festival of Lights...
