Flame of Knowledge is symbolically described as a lamp, the guiding light of scientific inquiry in an atmosphere of intellectual freedom.
Lamp: This story comes from ancient Greece, where Diogenes was searching for a wise man.
So, the “genie lamp” has come to symbolize someone’s search for wisdom and knowledge; a scholar.
Light, which allows us to find our way among darkness, has always been perceived as a metaphor of progression towards the achievement of knowledge.
The Greek philosopher Diogenes used to stroll about in full daylight carrying a lamp; if someone asked him what he was doing, he answered ” I’m simply looking for a human being” meaning he was searching the positivity in mankind.
