Theos-Talk Archives (December 2002 Message tt00537)

Thanks Mauri, for your profound observation. I'm sure if the shoe fits some 
on this list who profess to be Buddhists, they might wear it.  

Coinsider this: "A theosophist is a member of no cult or sect but a member of 
each and all." 

But, here's an appropriate little poem I once heard from a wise old 
theosophist that might clarify things a bit more for all of us. :-)

Knowings

He who knows not,
and knows not that he knows not,
is a fool—
Avoid him!

He who knows not,
and knows that he knows not,
will learn—
Teach him!

He who knows,
and knows not that he knows,
is asleep—
Wake him!

He who knows,
and knows that he knows,
is a Sage—
Learn from him!
