The Limitations Of Classroom Knowledge

The universe is a vast and sophisticated place We cannot squeeze all of its knowledge into the classroom We can only select a few drops of knowledge to study And hope it will give us a better perspective into the mystery of the unknown The classroom is a beautiful place with its gigantic billboards of knowledge But the key to true knowledge is found within our hearts True knowledge is the light that opens the door to awareness Awareness is the fundamental substance of our being We cannot limit ourselves to the five senses And hope we can truly understand our own composition We need to drink from the river of living water And allow our spirit to illuminate the bed of existence It is only inside the emptiness of our being That we can rise up with the fullness of clarity And see the light of our creation We can be the substrate of nothingness And be the empty cup that is never full of knowledge It is true, the current objective for humanity's existence has been distorted But the fundamental reason for our existence Lies deep in our conscious Until we submerge ourselves in the waters of consciousness (Silence) We will never understand the meaning of peace, hope, happiness and Love Only the truth can set us free To roam the vastness of the everlasting life ©Kenneth Maswabi
