Memorizing facts has its value.
Memorizing mantras has its value.
However, to really know them is to understand them.
What does it mean to understand them?
Where does understanding come from?
Deep within you, deep within your soul, lies the source of all that is.
It is
… not physical.
… not material.
… not grasped.
It is felt.
… sensed
… deep within your soul.
… deep within your self.
It is the place within where you make sense of things.
For something to be understood is for it to make sense.
Feelings lie deeper than thoughts.
Feelings birth thoughts.
The seed of knowledge is feeling.
Understanding stands under, births, feeds, and supports all of life.
Facts emerge from that place, just as the tree emerges from the seed.
The seed of life births life.
To gain true knowledge, awaken to the source of thought.
The thoughts themselves are secondary.
One can know many facts and not be a person of knowledge.
One can know few facts and be a person of true knowledge.
Awaken to the place within where you understand everything.
Facts are useful tools.
But they are most useful in the hands of those who know the Self.
This is beautiful. What a perfect way to start my day. Thank you.
Beautiful! Thank you so much.
This is so beautiful. Your words go in like melted butter.
The picture is also gorgeous. Denise emailed me this morning at sunrise and said, “The sun is pink!”
Thank you, more beauty to experience in my Brooklyn Starbuck’s! Jai Guru Dev….
This is a wonderful, great to transcend on blog. And I thought the picture matched it perfectly. Thank you
Standing under; knowing that I don’t, can’t, won’t ever really know for sure; finding Truth in the gap between realities; alligning with the reality that is most life-supporing in the moment; I love imagining the flavor of Knowledge – the field of all possibilities! The imagining sometimes seems to bring IT to life.
Your teachings steer my awareness to so much richness and positivity, connecting and feeding the infinitely varied texture of the surface with the ever deepening endless depth.
I am continually amazed how steady your hand is on the rudder – the dynamic constancy of your teachings – so much dedication to our understanding The Knowledge!
