Knowledge Speaks, Wisdom Listens
Knowledge Speaks but wisdom listens is a famous saying by Jimi Hendrix, a popular American musician.
The goblet of human mind, when fell of Knowledge, starts spilling out. This knowledge, like beauty, yearns for stage to show its charm.
When wonders of this universe knock the knots of mind open, the tongue divulges its secrets in the words dancing and tapping with rhythm of knowledge and awareness.

During the silent hours concentration and potential observation, the Nature whispered its secrets to him. He listened to the imperceptible phenomenon of fall of apple to ground and then descended fruits of knowledge in the lap of wisdom. Newton discovered Law of gravity and formulated those world famous laws of motion which are basic of Physics.
