BEWARE OF KNOWLEDGE
It is so cheap to become knowledgeable. Scriptures are there, libraries are there, universities are there; it is so easy to become knowledgeable. And once you become knowledgeable, you are in a very sensitive space, because the ego would like to believe that this is your knowledge – and not only knowledgeability, it is your wisdom. The ego would like to change knowledge into wisdom. You will start believing that you know.
You know nothing. You know only books and what is written in the books. Perhaps those books are written by people just like you. Ninety-nine percent of books are written by other bookish people. In fact, if you read ten books, your mind becomes so full of rubbish that you would like to pour it down into the eleventh book. What else are you going to do with it? You have to unburden yourself.
