I chosed this quote because it is the best one fitting easily into the title field…
… and mostly because it is the one which provides me ambitions and desire of knowledge and traveling.
This quote is known to have been said by the Prophet Muhammad. In his time, distance were not so easy to reach as nowadays. Now you can go to China in a couple of hours. 2000 years before, it would have taken months to get in China. This quote wants to show how far we have to go, how deep we have to think to reach knowledge.
What is knowledge ? For me knowledge is a synonyme of “everything”. It includes what you can see and what you cannot see. If you can see an Ocean, you have to know what is an ocean, how it is created and when. What is its story, who lives inside, how… So many questions! Of course, you cannot have a complete answers. If you ask yourself enough questions, you would end by one question that you cannot answer and nobody in this planet, at this time can answer. Here is the point where you go for this question: WHERE can I find THE answer ?
As far as you can, even if you have to go to China for this. Why China? If you go to China without having learned chinese and you want to find you way, you know you have all information in front of you on the streets but you cannot translate them. You have to learn. You would seek, communicate and share with others for this. You have to be upstanding. And sometimes you have to go beyond the borders.
Same in the Life. if you ask yourself some questions, you know answers are all around you. They are in this World, maybe it is in Universe. Although you have all anwsers around you, you can reach enough knowledge by using either Science or Meditation. Yet both are paired. The way is not easy. The way is long but do it : go in quest of knowledge, even unto China.
