'Love never fails. But where there are prophesies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge it will pass away.'
1 Corinthians 13:8
Sometimes life can become very confusing!
Knowledge does not set you free, it gives you a headache!
There's an advert for an Internet search engine which shows someone asking for directions. The person starts of normally giving the information, then carries on giving random information in a chaotic way - the mind is in overload!
It is like when you Google something and you are presented with a list of random answers, interesting but not what you where looking for, and very easily distracting from what you where doing.
I love to learn!
My mind craves knowledge, I love History, Math, esoteric knowledge, Religion, culture. You name it I am interested in it. This is not bad in itself but sometimes this can lead you astray from the one simple truth - LOVE!
'Love is patient, Love is kind, It does not envy, It does not boast, It is not proud.' 1 Corinthians 13:4
All the knowledge in the world (and not in the world) is meaningless without Love.
So what do we do with an inquisitive mind?
We learn to see the love in all situations; all learnings; all teachings.
If God is Love, then all that God made is Love!
The equation of Love is in the architecture of Life; each sequence of events can be seen as a Mathematical equation, the answer being - LOVE!
So, when we feel an info overload and we become a little confused;
Stop!
Breath!
Connect back to LOVE!
This is what matters the most.
'And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.' 1 Corinthians 13:13

Funny thing is, we don't even know everything there is to know. And what we know, thanks to all the information overload, keeps changing. I think knowledge is overrated. What really matters are the three tenets of faith, love, and hope :-)
Just wrote a blog post today along the lines of how much does one know.. have a look.
'The equation of Love is in the architecture of Life; each sequence of events can be seen as a Mathematical equation, the answer being - LOVE!' I really like the imagery here. Inspiring biblical allusions too.
Thanks Paul and Mansi for your comments :)
What a good post. So simple if we just go back to the root which is love.
