Know & Knowledge

Know & Knowledge

“He shaves his head and dyes his garments;

he reads the Bible, Koran & Gita and becomes a mighty talker,

Kabir says: ‘You are going to the doors of death,

Bound hand and foot.”

He says; people read the scriptures----Bible,Koran,Gita---they become very proficient, very logical, argumentative, talkative, but they don’t know anything.

Knowledge is one thing, and to know, another. To know means to come face to face with reality, to have encounter with God.

Knowledge means to collect information. You can collect, you can use your mind as a computer, you can go on feeding it; it can collect all the knowledge that is available in the world. Do you know? ---- A single mind can contain all the libraries of the world. Given enough time, a single mind is enough to contain all the libraries. So much information can be collected. Yet remain ignorant; behind all those curtains, decorated curtains of informations, you will remain ignorant----because you have not tested, you have not known yourself. Unless you know yourself, all knowledge is futile.

Go on talking about the Gita and go on talking about the Koran and go on talking about the Bible-------But it is seen you are simply going into death and nowhere else.

Because you have not yet contacted the Source of Life.

Because after this Kabir says:

 “I hear the melody of His flute and I cannot contain myself:

The flower blooms, though it is not spring;

And already the bee has received its invitation.”
