Knowledge has been our greatest source of asset, the highest form being human knowledge. It is quite a fascinating subject from inception of mankind.
What have we gained through knowledge!? Nothing at all. If we have gained nothing at all then what good is it? Through knowledge we loose... sickness, anger, depression, insecurity, burden of old age, fear of death...
We harness this knowledge to our will and manage living peacefully.
There are places in us where this will is useless. Just as we dive into the depths of an ocean where life seems unstoppable. If we have to make this will useful in such depths we have to understand and become aware.
Now a diversity. Accumulated knowledge and a knowledge from understanding and awareness.
A man in order to cross the river designs a raft after deep contemplation. He then makes a raft and crosses it. He carries that raft on his back thinking it would be necessary to cross another time. Another time seems far away and the raft weighs heavier on his back until finally he puts it down. He turns back to the river bed and drops the raft for others who might want to cross the river. He is convinced that he has the knowledge to make another one.

This he is aware is natural or instinctive. Slowly on his journey with a burden to carry grew out of a shell. He started to grow and then made a choice. A choice that could be resourceful to others. A priceless possession in each of our lives, an effort to grow out of a shell bound realm.
