The man who desires power, wealth, right judgement, discretion and authority never gets tired of seeking true Knowledge. Knowledge to him becomes an intoxication, a raging fire burning in his bones, his bowels and soul. Knowledge becomes his life, his oxygen, his energy. Knowledge becomes his addiction and pursuit. He never stops seeking Knowledge, desiring it's kiss and caress, desiring to be entirely consumed in the euphoria of it's excitement. He lusts after knowledge, seeking pleasure from endless hours of intercourse with this virtue thus having streams of orgasmic release from it. Whether knowledge lives on the top of the highest mountains or in the deepest floors of the Mediterranean, or in the jaws of lion, or in the belly of the crocodile, the man who desires knowledge climbs all obstacles to arrive it's reach. Knowledge of truth, to the man desirous of it, becomes a god to him. The worship of truth is seen when it's entirety overshadows the human mind, thus possessing his will, emotions and character. The reverence for knowledge is when the man who has made it his God thus drowns his mind in the river of it's wisdom thus possessing knowledge.

those who then seek to know the truth are like drops of hot lava spilling into the river banks of destiny. to them, fate and destiny becomes an illusion, they rather live in the moment thus becoming like the wind which blows where it desires. they are like new wine poured in new jars, refreshing the bodies of those seeking it's intoxication. they are like calcium carbides reacting with cold rain drops, they are like young sons of lewd kings caught up in the midst of a vendetta yet living free like the wind. they are like eunuchs in kings' palaces committed only to kingdom service, thus yielding their entirety to gaining knowledge. they are like men born in the 1900's filled with the wisdoms of a new age. they are like those who have bartered their soul to the divine for eternal life.
