"<p>Full wisdom is for the stone and the naked soul. The knowledge of nothing is the same as the knowledge of everything.<br />Go to the light, but ask it nothing. He who has no need to ask, is common with the answer.<br />As soon as you are smarter than anyone: you are dumber than everyone. To be wiser, this can rightly be done only by the master, who is aware of the stupidity of his "wiser" and on whose part teaching is humility: the wise listener is subordinated to the fool who speaks.<br />Truth, once spoken, is no longer truth; at best it is a feeble approximation of truth. The wise man is wise only as long as he remains silent; as soon as he speaks, he is a fool, for he can only give the indigestible husk of his nourishing knowledge. "Whatever fits into this miserable shell: look for it, eat it" - that's all he can do.<br />If you want to possess the truth, you can only use the teachings as a help, you have to find it deep within yourself.</p>"
