Discover Your Own Wisdom
People who are attached to sutras and a scriptural teaching of words can lack faith in the living, mysterious experience of meditation that leads to a sudden insight. They are usually too caught up in the expedient means of words and speech, attached to the stubborn habit of distinguishing between "true" and "not true." Believing only what is written in holy texts, they are conceptually mesmerized by the treasures of others, instead of digging inside to discover the priceless gems of their own, lying deep within.
This is so very true. If not careful, I find this to happen even in myself. Searching endlessly for wisdom to share with others...looking, looking, looking... But fail to look within. By the very fact that I am looking for something that I "agree" with - means it resides in me from the very beginning. Thank you, for such a good reminder.
