Knowledge is not self-realisation
Reading of books and accumulating knowledge is of no use on the path of self-realisation. There is only one thing to learn, which no one else can teach you.
So, why not look within and find the answers. No one else’s answers can help you.
The more you read and become knowledgeable, the stronger becomes your ego, which is the only hindrance on the way.
In the divine court, justice will be done. The learned and the illiterate will be treated alike. The learned will not be forgiven for misdeeds. The only knowledge that is of value to you is that which you find by discovering yourself. It may not get you any laurels in the world, but it will help you walk the path of self-realisation more confidently. Then, perhaps, you may revert to the scriptures to verify your findings. But before that, they will only stand in your way.
So, learn from the god within you.
