WORD OF CAUTION

We  must be careful not to get in our own way.  In Vedanta, there is the Way of Knowledge, whereby we are to learn the fundamentals of the faith.  But it is too easy to get lost in a forest of details.  If we are academics, that is one thing, for in such a case we are required, indeed if we teach the subject, are paid to know every aspect of it.  But if spiritual enlightenment, awakening, is our aim, too much knowledge can block our progress.  Too much information can take us in the wrong direction, lead us to what we never intended.
