Just A Thought ~ NO WAY AROUND IT
"When you are deluded and full of
doubt, a thousand books of
scripture are not enough. When you
have reached understanding, even
one word is too much."
~ Fen-Yang ~
Does this mean that scriptures are of
no use? No. They are useful, of course,
but we must use our intelligence
to differentiate what is true and what is
false in them, and even then, we will
reach a point when we must let go and
rely upon ourselves, as the books
cannot take us where we need to
go. Eventually, we must leave books
and words behind.
