Did you ever repeat the same word to yourself multiple times, and then think/feel: "The word lost its entire meaning!"
Go through this slowly: Word. Word. Word. Word. Word. Word. Word. Word. Word. Word. Word. Word. Word. Word. Word. Word
You are now thinking, "What the heck is Word?" You just proved to yourself that word and its meaning are entirely separate from each other, and it's you who is giving meaning to the word. Can you do that with every word, not just Word? Yes.
Since you can do that with every word you can think of and then repeat, it means it's you that is giving meaning to all words you hear and speak. Since all knowledge is based on language and words, knowledge itself has no true meaning, and that meaning is inside YOU.
