In the poem knowledge the poet
expresses her opinion about the value of knowledge for the young learners. She says
that one should know the value of time and make best use of it for the future
purpose if she or he wants get benefited from it. The poet compares the human
mind with a meadow and a young learner with a farmer. The poet says that a good
farmer does not like to see bare fields. He likes to sow seeds and looks after
them with care. In the same way, a good learners should not keep his mind empty
and be a know nothing or uneducated person. He should plant the seeds of
different types of knowledge such as science, astronomy, nature, mathematics,
history, music and literature in the right time. If he keeps his mind busy
studying and acquires knowledge from various sources, he or she is sure to get
good outcome in the future and become a knowledgeable, educated and a well informed
person. Like a farmer who works hard takes care of the seeds and plants the
whole season, does not let them dry up and spoil and finally harvest his crop
after it has ripen. In the same way, a good learners mind will also ripen with
knowledge to use it in future if he or she works diligently tirelessly
throughout his or her early period of life that is till his or her adulthood.
The poet wants to appeal and
alert all the learners to make the best use of the present time. She gives
emphasis the young learners not to waste their time in idle enjoyment and futile
work which will lead them to the way of unawareness and ignorance. The time
once gone is gone forever, it won’t come back and then there will be no use of
crying over the spilt milk. Therefore the student life is the right time to acquire
as much knowledge as possible, and which can be utilized in the later life. So utilize
time in proper way and in future be a man of wisdom and intelligentsia, not a
know nothing person.notesblognepal.blogspot.com
