Scientist 

After the collapse of the Harzemªah state, which had supported science, literature and the spiritual world, the Türkmen’s eminent philosophers, scholars, literati, artists and craftsmen spread not only through Turkey, but also, by another route, to Caucasus, Anatolia, Arabia and from there passed though Egypt to Spain. In this way, the scientific achievement of the Türkmen nations became the ferment of European scientific advancement. The Türkmen wheel precipitated the scientific progress of the world. The life-style of the Türkmens made a great contribution to the improvement of science, production and industry. Later those issues will be analysed in depth.

Knowledge is the light of happiness


Moreover, the first mechanical robots were invented by Artyki’s scholars.

The scientist should work to help improve society in material and spiritual respects. If the scientist forgets this task, then the knowledge he possesses is meaningless, useless and of no value.

The real scientist holds real knowledge. That knowledge should first of all be of use to society. This also amounts to saying that it should serve the holder of it too.

The scientist elevates knowledge, and society elevates the scientist.

The best way to learn is to read. And the best way is reading through reflection. If there is no reflection, then there is no science at all.

The real man of proper knowledge has the following properties:

He doesn’t seek to gain material benefits through his possession of proper knowledge;

He does not see proper knowledge as a form of skill, but thinks it is matter of progress;

He is calm and modest;

He has good moral conduct;

He confirms his words through his actions;

The type of knowledge of no use to society is meaningless to him.

Engaging in the type of knowledge that has no social use is similar to trying to sew cloth with a needle with no thread.

No day is possible without a night, and no society can exist without proper knowledge.

The real man of proper knowledge is a friend of realities and serves his society.

My blessed Türkmen nation! The Golden Age must be one where the Türkmen way of knowledge must spread to and enlighten the whole world. The doors of proper knowledge are always open here. We desire that all Türkmen citizens may have access to proper knowledge. Proper knowledge should attract public attention in our country. For the 21st century is one of proper knowledge. The door to
the Golden lifestyle of the Golden Age of the Türkmen passes through proper knowledge.
