WISDOM

Did you hear the story
Told by Gautam the Buddha
About the blind man who spent his entire life arguing that Light doesn't exist?

What's the adage about "None so blind....."?

All thinking is groping in the darkness,
Like blind men arguing about light.

Seeing is altogether a different matter;
Seeing is experiencing.

No matter how hard or long we think,
Reasoning never leads to the experience of anything other than reasoning.
Without experience,
We become reasonably stupid
Rather than innocently sense-able.

Experiencing leads to in-sight.
With insight, arguments evaporate.

Think for yourself,
Experience for yourself,
Open all your senses,
(There are more than 5, you know)
And be a seer.
