What is Knowledge : Ch-2. Part-9.

Chapter-2. The Necessity to Understand What Real Knowledge Is :


Part-9.


"This is what I have seen, this is what I have learned, this is what I have been told, and therefore it should be only like this.

It cannot be in any other way.

" A kind of egoism – not necessarily adopted deliberately, but automatically arising due to the impression of these old vibrations thrust upon you by factors mentioned – create a circumstance of non-receptivity to any kind of change in outlook.


People always resent change in anything. They want to stick to something which is already there.

No change is permitted; it is a fearful thing.

You do not want to change anything, either outwardly or inwardly, because you get habituated to a particular way of thinking and living; and if this habit of living in a particular way has continued for twenty years, thirty years, forty years, you cannot change your outlook so easily – as you would not like to peel your own skin, and put on a new skin on your body.


As I mentioned in the very beginning, the world is a very hard nut to crack.

It is not an easy thing, and it will not bend before our opinions, our ideologies.

It has seen many like us, and it is going to see many like us.
