Books have become tremendously important to us – what people have written, what they have said. And so the human mind has become second-hand. The mind that has acquired so much knowledge about what other people have experienced about reality, how can such a mind experience, find or come upon that thing which is original? And can the mind empty itself of its content? If it cannot, it cannot acquire, then reject, then receive. Why should I go through all those things? But I’ll look. No book in the world is going to teach me. No teacher is going to teach me because the teacher is the taught, the disciple is the teacher.
