Knowledge is greater than riches

Knowledge is more more powerful than riches. Make a place for it. Pause for one minute in your day, and imagine a door, that you have never noticed before. Suppose behind it a way to become one with what would make you free. Leave everything you are and have beside it, except for a small and nimble prayer.

Take off all your cloths, and as you enter, say the prayer. Do this every day and soon your life will be full of doors. The correct attitude abandons the self at the entrance, and the man becomes the prayer.

One who amasses material goods is very likely to have traded what is more valuable for them.

A man can not have both material wealth, and understanding, for he will hate one and love the other. One is responsible for great suffering, and the other for far ranging, enconceivable beauty.

It would be a terrible truth to discover when the hour is late, that for all your days, you served the wrong master.

Common Ground

Vatican Museum Painting

There are beautiful places in the world of all sorts, even in nooks and cracks. In the landscape there are hidden gems hard to imagine for one unknowing of their existence.

In just a short hike over a hill there is wildly captivating grandness, incomprehensible contrasts in form, infinite degrees of darkness and light, colors unseen in depths of endless fields,

created by a God or by a man whose great love made available this exclusive design_ one's uniquely personal call/gift to the other. This is the only art,

it is the knowledge that was absent in beginnings apart, appreciated mostly by the architect himself,
but only because he endured to know,
Half Dome, Yosemite
suffered to see past the vast dark emptiness where the beauty now lives.


We must learn to connect to the unfamiliar, though one is so unknowing of, or far from the other. Learn to associate, assemble those parts/people that allow freedom to understand indifference. This requires a high regard for continued education throughout one's life. It is the destiny of good men to promote the peace that resides in knowledge. It is the truth that winsthat lives.
