[Guest guest]

  from the GURU VACHAKA KOVAI - trans. by Prof. Swaminathan

 

The Garland of Gurus Sayings

 

Bhagavan's Utterances recorded

by Sri Murunagar in Tamil verse.

Continued Practice.

 

8 Indirect Knowledge

 

p.100

 

v 531

 

From questing inwards,

deep in the Heart

comes Knowledge which destroys

all false illusions.

 

Searching books*

for pure clear wisdom

is like trying to cook

and eat the painting of a gourd.

 

 

*knowledge not from experience- comes from books or secondhand.
