Knowledge is always of the past. Knowing is always here and now.

Past must cease, for present to be. And knowledge must cease, for knowing to be.

Knowing is alive.
Knowledge is dead.
Weda means knowledge.
Wedas cannot reach Supreme Consciousness.

So in India, we have a very strange word - Wedanta, going beyond wedas.

Knowing enlivens, knowledge is dead - Osho

A bee is referred variously as Bhringam, - the buzzer - Bhramaram, - the whirler -  Madhupam - nectar guzzler.

When used as metaphor for movements of five senses and mind, Sancara chooses the word Shat-pada - the six footed.

In his six-versed poem of Shatpadi, he prays for both Shanti and Danthi. Tradition eulogises Shankaracharya as, Shanti Danthi Boomnam.

- Shri Chandrashekarendra Saraswati, kanchi.
