Make Your Knowledge An Experience

By Staff

All knowledge gained should be applied to your inner growth. Else, you are no more than a walking library. I have seen people – they read voraciously and listen to different people's lectures on philosophy and talk extensively about it. When it comes to application, they are totally lacking. They simply become books for other people's reference. They read, they don't digest it fully, they simply vomit it on others. What is the use?

Only when you yourself grow with awareness, you can help yourself as well as others. You need an experiential understanding. The key here is not even applying what you hear for the sake of outer world benefits; it is applying what you hear to bring in more awareness into yourself to understand that the outer world is an illusion and that everything that needs to be achieved is inside you. The milestones reached in the outer world will then become just incidental in the whole process.

When you listen to Masters talk, just absorb and imbibe. Masters talk only the truth.

It is like this: There is a vast dense forest and you are trying to explore it with a small lamp - that is your mind.

With the light of the small lamp, you see a few feet ahead and put down what you see as the truth.

This is what scientists do. They see a few feet ahead and come out with one theory today.

After some time, they go a few feet further ahead with that light and see a few feet further now and see something more.

They then discard the truth they declared yesterday and bring in a new truth.

Be very clear: What was truth yesterday but untruth today could not have been truth even yesterday.
