Why is imagine important?

Forming image in your mind is called imagination. It is much more important than knowledge. This is stated by Albert Einstein.

We imagine electron to be like a small spherical ball without considering its radius. We imagine the nucleus made up of pasting smaller balls known as nucleons. We might have tasted an eatable made up of ground nuts pasted with jaggery. Same way immense nuclear force bind the protons and neutrons to make the nucleus. Electromagnetic radiations, photons, field effects etc etc, have to be imagined so as to go deep into the secrets of nature. So such an imagination is to be preserved so live in our mind. So it is a must to tell stories to children. Only during listening stories they would imagine the scene. If they happen to watch TV programme they probably lose the chance to imagine. So story listening is a good practice. Image formation is due to thinking. As we go deep this way, there would be a state where the entire thinking process itself stops. There we realize the Truth behind our own self, this entire cosmos and the relationship between.
