It Is Better Not to Know
True spiritual understanding transcends mental knowledge; the willingness to embrace not-knowing allows direct realization of the Self to emerge.
Key Teachings
- True knowledge cannot be grasped by the mind—it is discovered through direct recognition of what you already are
- The ego clings to knowing as a form of identity, but freedom lies in surrendering the need to understand
- What we call 'knowing' is often the very thing that obscures the truth; not-knowing opens the door to realization
