Self Awareness Centre : Quest 10

This is the 10th QUEST : -


Ponder upon this for a while, absorb the meaning of this explanation by Mahan...

" those who are preaching and sharing knowledge learned from books; if they use the knowledge into their life and realise through experience the meaning of what they have studied, they may shine as a mentor,motivator and wisdom leader. if they are not at any account,experiencing and applying what they have studied, they will mislead and starts deceiving unknowingly, the crowd with their false knowledge and serves the people merely as a substitute for many books which they have read, nothing more "

Now contemplate on this : HOW MUCH OF REAL KNOWLEDGE IS IN MY POSSESION?


much of the knowledge that we lived upon and shared onto another is not ours. instant realisation by experiences along the way alone is our REAL KNOWLEDGE.
but most often we keep on reading and reading various books, the mind absorbs the beautiful lines and sentences, philosophies and insights but never truly studies,experiments and converts them into real knowledge of enlightened awareness.
in gradual process, this may lead to destruction, ego building up, confusion, conflict of interest and the MOST, energy drain !!


adding to that, what is the main reason behind these captions of Mahan :-


" experiences leading to wisdom"

" book knowledge only capable of serving the hungry stomach"

" having knowledge which is not yours and by books without experimental nature is like carrying heavy loads of animal dungs which will never serve any purpose but draining your energy and strength "



HOW MUCH OF REAL KNOWLEDGE IS IN MY POSSESION?
