Knowledge, Thoughts, Observations, Memory and Activity

In summary, Albert Einstein and Sri Krishna both believe that knowledge is like a tree with different branches representing specializations. However, Einstein also suggests that knowledge can be abstract and deduced into a unified understanding through observation, logic, memory, and theory. The relationship between different subjects helps us understand the structure of knowledge. Love, art, and mathematics are the three dimensions of knowledge, with economics, science, and technology being the combinations of these dimensions. Evolution, history, and laws/politics are also products of the combination of knowledge and its dimensions. In Sanskrit, knowledge is seen as the origin of a system of three co-ordinates: love, art, and mathematics, which can produce different subjects and environments.

Albert Einstein says that knowledge is a tree of which different specializations are its branches. Sri Krishna in Bhagwat Gita similarly, says that Knowledge is a tree upside down i.e., of which root is on top; and trunk, branches and leaves spread at bottom.

If we all see the expansion of universe, it cannot be studied. It is ability of natural human mind to have meditation of abstraction that it can be deduce into observation, logic, memory; and then to specific lines of theory/thoughts and then to a unified knowledge.

The relation between the subjects (observational material) help to understand the architecture of the whole tree of knowledge.

Knowledge is the origin of three dimensional space. X co-ordinate is LOVE which is specific truth 'as is' of the 'first party' without a need of expression; Y co-ordinate is ART or EXPRESSION OF THE LOVE or COMMUNICATION i.e., vocabulary, languages, art, and all forms of 'second party' expression; and Z co-ordinate is MATHEMATICS or comparison between various Expressions of the Love. This is a 'third party' understanding of the Love.

Love + Mathematics = Economics
Economics is a compromise between passion and measurement. You like a car but it has a price of a few thousand dollar. This dilemma is called economics.

Art + Mathematics = Science
An invention is Art, but by copying it using measurements, that Art becomes reproducible and verified in a similar way. When art or private knowledge is brought under scope of measurement verification, that becomes a science.

Science + Economics = Technology
Science is higher knowledge and not subject to misuses. But a technology is like a gun or atom bomb. Unlike sciences, users of a technology need not be developed persons just as Terrorists use bombs and guns. Economics married to science to deliver a baby called Technology, but none of its parents can control it after it goes in wrong hands. Most scientists are afraid of making a technology because if they are lured by economics, their results are irreversible loss to nature in hands of the unworthy minds.

Love + art = Evolution
Evolution is ability to explain the truth using vocabulary. It includes behaviors that includes conception of literature, virtues and ethics and morality.

Evolution + Mathematics = History
When measurement is applied to evolution over time or some other point of views, that becomes history. History is verifiable source of information of impacts of morality and other virtues of evolution.

Technology + History = Laws/ politics
Technology is power that disregards virtues and gives control and history can be interpreted by people of power. These two combination produce laws or control systems. Although these cannot prevent wars but had this aim.

In Sanskrit, Knowledge is the origin of the system of three co-ordinates i.e., love (SAT) - art(RAJ) - mathematics (TAM) ; their different combinations are called VISHAY (poisonous intellect) or Subject matters of sensory studies. Third level is Material universe that is manifested by means of the Vishay or interplay of subjects and thus producing different products and environments.

I find this perspective on knowledge to be both fascinating and thought-provoking. It highlights the interconnectedness of different branches of knowledge and how they all stem from a single source. The analogy of a tree is a powerful one, as it shows how knowledge can grow and branch out in different directions, yet still be connected to its root.

I also appreciate the mention of observation, logic, and memory as important components in the process of acquiring knowledge. As scientists, we rely heavily on these skills in our research and experimentation.

The concept of love as the origin of three dimensional space is intriguing, and the idea of different co-ordinates representing different aspects of knowledge is a unique perspective. It shows how love, art, and mathematics are all necessary for a deeper understanding of the world around us.

I agree with the statement about the potential dangers of technology in the wrong hands. As scientists, we have a responsibility to consider the potential consequences of our discoveries and how they may be used. It is important to prioritize ethics and morality in our pursuit of knowledge.

Overall, this perspective on knowledge offers a holistic and interconnected view that is both philosophical and scientific. It reminds us of the importance of considering the bigger picture and the impact of our actions as scientists.
 

1. What is the difference between knowledge and thoughts?

Knowledge refers to information or understanding that has been acquired through learning or experience. Thoughts, on the other hand, are a product of the mind and can encompass a range of mental processes such as reasoning, imagination, and perception. In simpler terms, knowledge is what we know, while thoughts are what we think.

2. How do we observe and interpret our surroundings?

Observation is the process of using our senses to gather information about our surroundings. This information is then interpreted by our brains, which use our previous knowledge and experiences to make sense of what we are observing. Our observations and interpretations can be influenced by factors such as bias, attention, and memory.

3. How is memory formed and stored?

Memory is formed through the process of encoding, storing, and retrieving information. When we experience something, our brain encodes the information into a form that can be stored. This information is then stored in different areas of the brain, such as the hippocampus. When we need to retrieve the information, our brain accesses the stored memory and brings it into our conscious awareness.

4. How do our thoughts and observations impact our actions?

Our thoughts and observations play a crucial role in shaping our actions and behaviors. Our thoughts can influence our beliefs, attitudes, and perceptions, which in turn can guide our actions. Similarly, our observations of the world around us can influence the way we behave and the decisions we make.

5. Can our knowledge and memory be improved?

Yes, our knowledge and memory can be improved through various techniques such as practice, repetition, and association. By actively engaging in learning and regularly reviewing and reinforcing information, we can improve our knowledge. Similarly, practicing tasks and techniques that aid memory, such as mnemonic devices, can help improve our memory function.
