How to understand everything
Шрифт:
Knowledge is a light. Ignorance is a darkness. (proverb) When people did not yet understand the meaning of science – scientists were burned at the stake.
Now the light of knowledge has illuminated the world. But to fully comprehend what "knowledge" is, let's go back to its origins. And as you know, the source of all knowledge is the Word.
With the word begins Speech, an instrument of knowledge and understanding. But where did the "word" itself come from, and what does it all mean?
In every language, words are made up of letters. In Russian, which has its origins in the Azbuka, each letter is a symbol representing a whole image or several images. The word "Azbuka" itself can be deciphered syllabically:
az – i, buki -letter.
In the same way, by syllables, you can decipher other Russian words, even despite all the modifications of the language, for example:
Ra-duga – light arc Ra-dost – light give Happiness – now is
My heart asked, "Teach me for once!"
I began with the alphabet: "Memorize the Az."
And I heard, "Enough! It's all in the opening syllable, And the rest is a cursory, eternal retelling."
("The Heart Asked." O. Higham) Why in no other language is there a concept of "alphabetic truth", and only Russian has a concept of "Azbuka’s truth"? And because the Azbuka is a completely unique phenomenon. The Azbuka differs from other alphabets not only by the principle: one sound – one letter.
Let's read the MESSAGE contained in our Azbuka Az – "I."
Buki (letters) – "letters, writings".
Vedi (vede) – to know.
