Knowledge is a misleading thing. Perhaps, a true thing has never been
said about Enlightenment. This is obvious when a description is
flowery but when it sounds logical, plausible or mind-blowing then we
might take it as the Truth. Beware: the map is *never* the territory.

There are several types of seeker: philosophers, doers and
experiencers. I hope you are an experiencer.

I sat in on a Satsang recently. It was quite an eye-opener. The
philosophers sat there like oysters. Their ears straining like clam-
like shells waiting to catch the 'latest' instalment of that ancient
philosophical system, Advaita Vedanta, to drop like jasmine nectar
from teacher's lips. They would then nestle this bit of Advaitic grit
in their intellectual bosom, their mind, and create a pearl from it,
which they would then offer the next teacher as evidence of their
diligence.

Unfortunately, this intellectual pursuit, dedicated as it is, is not
what is being asked for. What I want to you to get is a permanent
experience.
