One wonders if we go on studying and keep on studying and attending
lectures and courses and getting all the certificates signed by *experts*
and leaders in organizations so that they can adore the walls of our homes
and offices and we keep on meditating, are there any demonstrable results
or just keep on doing it in the wishful thinking and hope that one day
enlightenment will occur or will be honored with admission to the mystery
school(s) ultimately leading to adeptship.

What about putting into practice a few of the ideas to help our fellow
beings? The latter may do a lot more good to lot more people than all the
studies and meditated results.
