Thoughts are produced when we hear

something or get a threat or face a situation

of suspect, doubt or fear. It happens to all

of us naturally, like forming waves on

surface of water upon a stone hitting it.

Waves of thought go out and inquire into a

matter and when it gets satisfied, thoughts

or waves are ironed out. Thoughts occur

only to inquire into an unknown or alien

field (whether it is an unknown past, an

unknown future or an unknown place).

With a realization of the truth, risk ends

and thoughts ends too. A truth is therefore,

thoughtless. We discuss here, the two

approaches which thoughts use for an

inquiry into the truth.

1. Belief: wisdom, oneness, yoga

2. Disbelief: intellectual defense

There are just two paths to the discovery

of the truth; one is belief and another,

disbelief.

When two children talk to each other, they

have not even an idea of disbelief and

therefore accept what the other says.

Children are nameless as we all consider

them truthful without attaching any

motives with them or fixing their identities.

Identifying individuals or fixing accountability

of statements is unwanted in the truth.

Consider similarly, lives of rishi or saints

who believe one another unconditionally,

and remain immersed in meditation. For

them, every fact is the truth.

But adults, who have the ability to fabricate

thoughts by individual biases, carry a certain

points of view. Motives get attached with

thoughts. This fabric of thoughts called

mind, woven in complex manner with

multitudes of concepts and logic, becomes a

curtain. And as a result, universal truth gets

hidden. These individuals get dependent on

fabrication of thoughts. They become

experts in using mind-fabric as a curtain

against the truth, are not fit to be believed

by one another, and their facts are not at

all, the truth. They can be intellectually

knowledgeable but have no truth.

In philosophy of disbelief, adults are

identified severely so that suspects or liars

whom we do not believe are bound by

certain references or quotations. This

pursuit is an intellectual defense. There is

no other purpose of 'ahankar' or identity,

except to identify, track and arrest the

source of information (a type of mind)

which is a suspect.

Science is a well-known mechanism of

discovering the truth or common

knowledge hidden in various minds (or,

thought-fabrics as curtain of veiled

individuals). Science is a principle with

which mind (also called fabric of

thoughts/defenses using a tool of disbelief)

is opened or, curtain of uncertain or false

thoughts destroyed. Belief is re-established.

Finally, it discovers the universal truth,

which was already there.

Identity or perceptions are never the truth.

These are recognition of forms or utilities

which sciences attempt to use in discovery

of the truth. Means of disbelief like,

assumed names, standards of measurement

and relativity of logic and so on, are

important to know; because, knowledge is

nothing but mirror image of

ignorance. Both co-exist. Knowledge

removes conflicts of all kinds of ignorance;

and as ignorance ends, knowledge ends

simultaneously. Science is at its best when it

ends the knowledge itself, and all sources of

unfinished desires or pending inquiry. The

truth is then obvious.

This is so called scientific approach of

inquiry of the truth. This is 7-step, very

tedious journey as the following.

1. Fact

2. Evidence

3. Record

4. Data

5. Information

6. Knowledge

7. Truth

Fact-Evidence-Record-Data-

Information-Knowledge-Truth

FACT:

Everything perceived, seen physically, or

logically understood by any individual,

anywhere, anytime is a fact. Fact is an

individual perception, undeniable and yet

not relevant to, or acceptable by all. Every

moment is a fact. Dream is also a fact for

the person who saw it. An object seen by

different people can have many different

perceptions and yet, all of those are facts.

Because nobody believes in another, facts

need to be verified or witnesses or

observed for a common motive by one

another, and this makes a fact into

evidence.

EVIDENCE:

When two or more persons find a fact in

common interest, in that situation, 'that

fact' becomes evidence. A fact verifiable by

'second party (or parties)' in common

interest either physically or by

circumstances, is evidence. Jewelry which is

stolen becomes evidence if the goods are

found in hands of a thief, and it is identified

by its owner. Presence of 'common

interest' in a given fact makes it

evidence. A judge looks at facts which can

establish a common motive, and only then,

the fact becomes evidence.

When any two or more independently

observed facts establish a common motive'

through logic or reason, those facts become

'circumstantial' evidence. For example, one

person saw an aircraft loosing height and

sliding uncontrollably in north east direction

from rooftop of his house which is located

30 km away from city airport. And,

another person saw an aircraft crashed in a

paddy field away 120 km from airport.

These two independent facts constitute

evidence as these are related or common

fact, by reason.

All facts need not be evidence but evidence

must certainly be a fact. For example,

dream of an individual is a fact but it is not

evidence. Belief is a fact but it is not

evidence. But the same belief when it is

independently observed by another, this can

make it of common interest, and it becomes

evidence.

Miracles can be facts but unless there is

corroboration by another observer or by

logic, these do not become evidence. In

these days what is called science was called

magic in history books. Evidence is critical

for establishing a common motive or

interest from more than one independent

observation 'facts'.

Evidence can be tempered or observers

may not be able to recall it and, therefore,

'temper proofing' of evidence is called

Record.

RECORD:

Evidence is perishable (or not preserved in

same condition for a long time) and is

therefore, not fit to use by a third party. A

record (conserved in media of

QUALITY FOR HUMANS



Pag

communication) makes an evidence fit to

use for a 'third party' or anyone

independent of interests, to verify it again

and again. Records must have a time stamp

or some base in terms of location of time,

space and author.

Evidence is a fact which is in a common

interest (including conflict of interest) by

two or more observers and, because it

involves certain interest, conflict or

intention, it is prone to tempering and

protection is therefore needed to have an

evidence temper proof in a manner it is fit

to be used for further inquiry. Record is

temper proofing of evidence.

Purpose of record or frozen memory is for

'recall value'. Till the time, there is an

interest (or conflict or agreement or any

warranty), records are required to be

maintained. A document, minutes of

meeting or photograph is an example of

record. Declaration of independence of

India was evidence which had millions of

observers on the 15th August 1947 but its

documentary memorials or pictures or

videos are the records of that evidence,

even today.

When record is evaluated using standard of

measurement it gets converted into data.

Data is a value of the record. Value means,

assigning numerical values to develop a

comparative understanding.

DATA:

This is a result of numerical treatment of

records. For sake of comparisons,

classification or analysis, use of

measurement standards are applied to

convert records into data.

These standards used for numerical

treatment of records aim at freeing a

record from biases in points of view.

This is a kind of sanitation of records. For

example, we have a record of students who

appeared in a certain examination. It

contains names of students. Purpose is not

to grade students but to see meaningfulness

of a subject which is measured by scores

given by students or, degree of acceptance

or feedback given by students on a subject.

Names of students are irrelevant in this

context. Pronouncing name of a student as

top in class can be counterproductive if

most of students rejected the course and

the teacher. Utility of data is to improve

level of education and its delivery

processes. Success of the subject is

important and not judging the students.

Making examination a source of conflict or

competition in them is another matter. This

means, if the records are not properly and

purposefully sanitized, it causes pollution of

thoughts and obstructs, mind.

Government keeps record of every citizen.

This record is an act of freezing evidence of

names, income, caste, city of residence and

so on, at a given time. But, data from these

records are extracted carefully.

Measurements of population by caste or

community or any personal preferences can

be a dangerous thing. But, for developing

public facility, like roads and train, only

counting of people and their age are

required. Caste and community or income

data are not required for such purpose.

This is an example of using data. With same

set of records, if the objective of data

processing is not appropriately chosen it

will lead to incorrect or biased information.

Logbook which records data of traffic is

example of data. Measurement, classification

or any numerical treatment of records is a

data. Logbook of vehicle is a record but

different entries of placed traveled, distance,

time of travel, amount of fuel are various

data.

INFORMATION:

It is decision enabler. Information is an

assortment of data or set of data which is

considered adequate for a decision. Data is

a base of decision making. If base is weak,

decision cannot stand firmly. If a decision

cannot be taken, that data is not yet fit to

act as information.

Information is know-how of decision

making while looking in historical data or

rear view mirror. It is like driving a car but

by looking rear view mirror. Information is

a sort of historical evaluation (or study of

the past), and used for assessment whether

it is, at this moment, successful or not.

In this scenario, when historical information

is a basis of decision, it is verified at every

movement, and need to have continued

monitoring and control is unavoidable.

A trend analysis, for example, which is

presented to prove success of a theory or

the management, is information. Historical

trends of fuel consumption of automobiles

or costs of operation of fleet of cars are

example of information.

KNOWLEDGE:

Information is historical in its nature but

using it to predict or forecast a future

scenario is knowledge. 'Forecasts' usually

depend on historical information as inputs.

These inputs processed with appropriate

laws (cause and effect relationship, sciences)

produce the Knowledge.

Information based Knowledge

Knowledge is a well-reasoned guess work

of future like a driver of a car going forward

but keeps looking in a rear mirror. This is

an insecure state of mind, and knowledge of

such type is for its own safety. Such a

knowledge which is based on past

information is used in safety of planning,

decision or match fixing but, is not natural

or effortless act of prediction.

This idea of knowledge can be easily

understood by a few examples. In India,

governments are insulated from market.

Employees, by a law, get promotion in a

time bound manner. This promotion in

career is not on merit; or, very rarely, merit

can be made an exception. A person who

joins a cadre at a very young age is sure to

reach at the level of managing director or

chief secretary. This is predestined because

by the age of 60 years, a retirement age,

only that person in that batch can stay in

the organization. That person knows from

the day one, that he is a future chief

secretary or the director in the company,

he or she just entered. Similar is a case of

first child of a king who becomes a king,

automatically. It is certain that first son of a

family in a traditional system becomes head

of the clan. He gets special treatment not

because he is a child or working class

employee but a future king or head of a

clan. This is an example of the knowledge

and its effect in people.

System based Knowledge

Knowledge is realization of the system.

We all know that natural system or laws of

nature cannot be broken. If somehow that

system is known perfectly, it is no need to

see anything in past or future, and any

forecasting becomes easy. Knowledge in

such a scenario becomes universal truth. By

forecasting with knowledge of a system,

everybody knows whatever it needs to

know in advance, and this is a way to end all

conflicts. For example, if we know that

water boils at 100 degree C, it is used every

day in cooking rice without any forecasts.

No record, no data and no information are

needed for cooking rice because this

forecasting is a result of established

knowledge of the physics or physical

system.

Conversely, those who know the system

can forecast the scenario and then try to

damage the system. When this happens,

intellectually very superior people (with

knowledge) become dangerous to humanity,

at large. Rawan (the king of Lanka) was a

person with high intellectual capability. He

tried to destroy a natural system (dharma)

in society for his personal advantage but did

not succeed.

This means, system of nature is independent

of the knowledge of the system which

people gather by their intellectual ability.

Knowledge of science gets challenge from

scientists themselves. If anyone tries to

manipulate knowledge in selfish uses, any

forecasts made with it cannot become

truthful.

In every field, this idea of knowledge is

useful. More is the uncertainty, more is

requirements of knowledge. Energy markets

are uncertain because of competition from

different technologies, political and market

forces. Given higher uncertainty, forecasting

or knowledge is difficult to make. Stock

market or act of investing is similarly a field

of intensive knowledge, and attracts the

brilliant minds. Politics (when it is not a

family rule), is also an uncertain field.

Electoral politics is uncertain and forecasts

of any person to be chosen as head of a

state against a competition is highly

demanding intellectual rigor.

Intellectually independent Knowledge wisdom

Knowledge is, 'seeing the unseen through

computational or logical ability' or 'best

guess' or forecast. Since knowledge is a best

guess, it is very much possible that two or

more people with knowledge (containing

error or biases), can come out with their

different predictions or forecasts. Any bias

in knowledge makes a prediction incorrect.

In courts, two lawyers contest against a

case. These lawyers have great knowledge

but have a bias or interest in winning a

court case. For this reason, their forecasts

differ. But, a judge is relatively novice, a paid

employee or insulated from a market. Judge

is system dependent and not influenced by

information. Judge makes a forecast which is

independent of bias of any of the lawyers. In

political elections, different TV channels

forecasts differently by their highest

intellectual capability. Some say A wins and

another say B wins. But the public who is

without any data or information and is not

biased either by A or B, decides finally who

should actually win and makes a correct

forecast.

Knowledge is necessary just as soap is

required for cleaning ignorance. But after

ignorance is cleaned, soap is cleaned too.

Similarly, knowledge exists till ignorance

exists. Once ignorance is gone, knowledge

is gone too. There is no existence of

knowledge without ignorance. Electricity lit

lightings are example of knowledge because

it is needed in night. But soon after the sun

arises, night or darkness or ignorance ends

and simultaneously, electrically lit lightings

become useless.

If intention is not good, however be

intellectual capacity, knowledge will not

deliver accurate and consistent forecasts.

Remember, purpose of knowledge is to

destroy disbelief. Once a belief is re-

established, ego or individuality of mind

ends, and all biases end. This is a state of

peace of mind or, removing mind or

fabricated thoughts which individuals so far

needed in their defense. Knowledge gives us

a hope by absence of conflicts, and this loss

of individual ego rebuilds trust.

Truth is beyond knowledge and ignorance.

Truth exists unchanged and active

irrespective of whether or not we know it

or not know it. Truth is independent of all

knowledge or means of prediction as well

as prediction itself. A forecast with zero

bias in points of view is Truth. All

differences end.

TRUTH:

Finally, it is one thing what actually will

happen. 'Truth' is therefore independent of

any knowledge or prediction or forecasts.

There are no prizes for guessing a truth

such as the sun rises in the east. The truth

is always universal, ever present, and no

secret.
