Do I know?

Knowledge is power.

I try to read a bit every day, to gain more knowledge.

It feels good to know more. 

But we cannot allow knowledge to render us arrogant

Arrogance is a sign of ignorance

Arrogance is a sign of extremely limited knowledge.

I just looked at a video from Sadguru. 

While I do not agree 

with quite a number of things he says,

he does share several times some great wisdom.

In that video, he said something like this:

"If you ‘d read all libraries in the world,

You will know something 

But compared to this existence, this life

Still our knowledge is minuscule 

Our ignorance is boundless

If we identify with our ignorance,

We become boundless, limitless 

If we identify with our knowledge 

We become constipated

Constipated means it happens little by little.

And that is how many people live 

They need so much things to happen 

To find a little bit of joy in life

We have too strive, to do so many things 

To find a moment of joy, of ecstasy

 

If you want to live a life

Drenched with countless ecstasies,

In every cell of your body at any moment, 

we are to embrace our ignorance. 

If we come to terms with our ignorance.

 

We will pay attention 

If we accept our ignorance 

We will naturally pay more attention"

 

And this is so true!

No matter how much we read,

let us remain aware that we do not know.
So many explanations, we tend to accept blindly and make it a belief.

It is a curse rather than a blessing. Our believes become convictions

and they will make us disrespect anyone who believes differently.

Our convictions make us fight with each other. 

 

The key to a happy life, filled with bliss

is to come to terms with the fact that we do not know

We do not even know an atom in its entirety. 

We have no clue what happens 

in the space between the protons and the electrons

Quantum physics, the science, which

NOT a person, fully can grasp, 

may be the thing that rules every process in our cells.

 

Let us embrace our ignorance

Pay attention 

and do not blindly swallow what big media wants to indoctrinate us with.
