Education is the ladder to gather fruit from the tree of knowledge, not the fruit itself.

Education, essentially, is an exploration of the horizon of human perception. As wide is the possibility of a human brain to expand its limitations, education is the very tool with which this unbordered intelligence is to be employed.  Opposed to the heaped pile of information, education induces the best use of human potential.

 Speaking of education being the ladder to the tree of knowledge, the first step towards this development is the knowledge of one’s own ignorance. Education plays a crucial role in freeing one’s mind from the grim limitations and introducing it with its own flair of colors. Nurturing the being in all humans so that they can rejoice in the very well-known process of evolution, one needs to identify the vastness of one’s mind; which in turn opens the gateway to all that we encapsulate as knowledge. The system of learning does not allude to the ability to gather and memorize but to how well we can bring it to use for our own good.

Now that we have discussed where the ladder leads us to, the question arises; what is this knowledge that we are relentlessly chasing to acquire? Do we ever raise a question about it without any specificity? Well, I might have a possible answer. Since we are referring to it as a tree, there must be some divisions as well. Let’s use one extremely rich dimension of human intelligence which is our imagination and talk about the trunk of this tree. Its roots are deeply set in acquired and developed apprehensions, which after a good session of mulling and churning becomes worth practicing. Further, it grows out to its branches and leaves and sprigs which are the different forms and facets one’s cognition takes.

        Education being the good step stool, helps one uphold the ideas, memory, imaginations so as to inspire creativity and build a world unseen. Now as we proceed up to the apex of this tree, we witness the flowers and fruits. So is this fruit of the knowledge tree? The essence of all that we learnt so far? Let me break this down for you to my best and least understanding. The gist of knowledge is knowing that this life is a miniscule embodiment of time and energy and the human mind being its steerer is an instrument to unlock the flavor of the untouched fruit post which a well and a rightly educated person can’t be barred from fabricating a world that we all dream of, a world where inclusivity overpowers discrimination.
