RAGHU AND ALL
YOU CAN READ THE BEST BOOKS ON BUDDHISM BUT IT WILL NOT TURN YOU INTO A BUDDHIST.
YOU CAN KNOW THE BEST PHILOSOPHY BOOKS BUT IT WON´T MAKE YOU A PHILOSOPHER.YOU CAN KNOW BY HEART ALL THE THEOSOPHICAL MANI WORKS BUT IT WON´T MAKEYOU A THEOSOPHER.
YOU CAN CUT AND PASTE, QUOTE AND COLLATE AND EXPLAIN THE DEEPEST TEXTS ON ANY SUBJECT BUT IT WON´T MAKE YOU A MASTER OR A TEACHER.
YOU CAN COMPARE, FIGHT FOR YOUR IDEAS, DISCUSS AND DRAW CONCLUSIONS, PASS AVERY HANDSOME SELF IMAGE, RECEIVE THE WORST CRITIQUES BUT IT WON´T CHANGE YOUR NATURE.
YOU ARE WHAT YOU ARE.
ALL OF IT JUST GIVES MORE FUEL TO YOUR EGO, MORE FUEL TO YOUR PRIDES AND LIVES YOU BLINDER AND BLINDER TO YOUR INNER NATURE.
READING AND OBTAINING KNOWLEDGE, WITHOUT MEDITATING AND TRANSFORMING IT INTO WISDOM IS ONLY OBTAINING MORE INTELLECTUAL SIZE.
I USED TO FEEL DIMINISHED WHEN DEALING WITH MORE ERUDIT PEOPLE, PRINCIPALLYMYSTICALLY.
NOW IT CHANGED BECAUSE TODAY I DISCOVERED THAT IT IS NOT IMPORTANT THE QUANTITY OF INFORMATION YOU GET BUT THE AMMOUNT OF UNDERSTANDING YOU HAVE FROM IT.
