Can knowledge ever be claimed as knowledge
if one has not put it into practice? What one hears, sees and believes is not
knowledge. If the same thing is experienced, it does become knowledge.
I have met some scholars who know a lot of
theory. More power to them for their scholastic abilities. But it IS an intellectualization
of knowledge, not knowledge itself.
If I make a lecture out of topics I have
read in books, magazines and articles, am I qualified to
Impart knowledge?
I think many have opened shops through
workshops where the teaching is not experiential. But there ARE some masters
who are teaching from experience. That is the path which will take us
somewhere. Otherwise, we go nowhere.
And yet, nowhere can be transformed into
"now" "here" and that is the essence of life the present
moment. It's right now and right here. Not was nor will be. It IS. To capture
the essence of each moment is the key to happiness. Experience what
"now" holds for us and become illuminated.
