Everything being is unique. God never creates carbon copies, he always creates originals. He believes only in the original. Is truly a creator, he never repeats. But goes on living in imitation. We are trying to be somebody else, which is impossible. Whatsoever you do, you are going to fail. You can only be yourself: […]
Those who are knowledgeable will have to put their knowledge aside if they really want to become wise. It is not ignorance that hinders wisdom, it is knowledge; hence knowledge is real ignorance. The first thing you have to learn as a sannyas in is that all you know is not real knowing; it is […]
