Knowledge!

Knowledge is of two kinds.One is through a medium or means of communication.Another is without medium or means of communication.One leads to worldly knowledge and the other to spiritual knowledge.

The first kind of knowledge is transient or transitory,that changes depending on eternal conditions and illusory experiences.

One man was walking along a road.He spotted a creature sitting on a tree.He came back and told his friends that he saw a red creature.One of his friends became curious.He went to see that.He saw that the creature was green.A third person happened to see it and it was yellow.The people who listened to all of these became confused.They thought they could go and find out who was telling the truth.

When they went, what they saw sitting on the tree was a ‘chameleon’!!!

This is exactly akin to the worldly knowledge and experience that changes and is not constant or eternal.It depends on the means and it changes accordingly.
