THE BIRDS SECRETS OF FLIGHT Verses 78-83

      The first verse of the above group alludes to the means of apprehension, and understanding.

      At his begining of life, Man has no knowledge at all. Whatever he knows later, he has learned and earned after his birth, through the means and instruments that Allah has given him; such as the ears, eyes, and heart, which is his main faculty of understanding, and learning. Some scholars are of the opinion that, the newly born baby has a certain amount and kind of knowledge, such as knowing his own existence, and knowing the Creator. He apprehends the fact that one part is smaller than the whole; but his knowledge has not yet been brought into effect; but he or she has the ability and talent of knowing these sort of matters. In other word when we were born, we were not aware of anything, even, our own existence; but the power and aptitude of knowing was in us.

      Of course the outside world does not enter into ourself or soul. With the help of the means and instruments that are given to us, we may take pictures, draw forms, and trace things that are outside of us, and then record or register the out existing forms in our mind, memory, or soul; whatever we may name the inner store room. Thus the supply of our knowledge and understanding is formed.

      Then we may analyse through our wisdom and thought, so as to discover the true nature, and the inner and outer relationship of the existing things. We may then mentally separate the parts of a whole in order to reveal their relation to one another, and also to the whole.

      In the second verse above, (NO.78) the ear has been mentioned prior to the eye; while we know that the role of the eye is more important in our apprehensions. This is most probably because the newly born baby makes use of his ear, before he or she opens the eyes to see.
