Dear K

Everything you say is true.

Knowledge without morals and ethics and the will to apply them once they
are understood is as you say useless.

However:

There is a duty for all who know: and that is to diffuse the sources of
knowledge and the fruit of study, so that those who are looking and
searching ay perhaps come upon those and use them as a starting point.

I would rather come upon something that is a reflection of truth than be
bemused and bewildered by opinions.

Knowledge, logic, thought philosophy and above all good will,
commonsense and wisdom are the essential all hope to learn from.

Where man has been, men can go.

Best wishes,

Dallas

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 MAKE YOU 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 A VERY 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,
PRINCIPALLY MYSTICALLY.
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.
