NATURE

The essay introduces what nature is to a scholar. The nature is “entire”, is “boundless”. It is like a circle, all power will return to where it starts, therefore no power is losing. That’s why the nature is so powerful. And it happens “without centre” and “without circumference”, which means everything is randomly following her mind and everything is individual. This is called “Classification”. What the scholars do links these individuals together by “discovering roots running under ground”. The scholar should have the perception to find the pattern between those objects. Different scholars in different fields can use this to make contributions. The key to be more successful than others is the ability of breaking down the wall between two strangers and digging deeply to find the connection, which is called “insight.

For him, he was locking in “the bending dome of day”, which blocked his thoughts. He was told what is “root” and where is “connection”. However, when he saw more “earthly natures”, he learned to discover himself. He is going to get out of the dome and become a “creator”. He will never be told what it is, he finds nature by his soul. Nature’s law comes to his own mind, he is the ruler to measure the beauty of nature. But that is not even close, the nature is too wide to completely know. That is why we need to “know thyself” and “study nature“.
