Sages True and False
So how many people claim to be sages that are true and are false? What is your image of sage? Can anyone know all the answers? Or is it simply they can puzzle out an answer to any question. Which is wiser? To invoke the thought process of the questioner to find the answer to the question. Or to give the answer to them. Is it simply the answer that is important or the knowledge to answer it? Does it matter how you figure out the answer? Full of questions on this subject not much certainity. But that is the heart of the discussion. Sometimes you don't know the question but you know the answer. And you have to figure out what the question is. In a life of questions are there ever enough answers. You must look inward to find the answers to your own questions. If you spend your days asking others you never learn yourself. Without knowledge of yourself, how do you teach your children anything. Knowledge has a cost like anything. If you buy something cheap, you may get a inferior product. Now there is a difference of cheap and inexpensive or bargain. You may learn from other people's mistakes and not make them yourself. So you have personally not paid a high price but You have not cheated the system to make it cheap. You merely used information from others and made your own decision. There is a difference between using someones elses thoughts to reaffirm your decisions and using their decisions as your own. If you choose to do the latter, it may lead to a point where you have no opinion and no concept of what you like and don't like. Sage is a person venerated for the possession of wisdom, judgment, and experience. Does the Sage know all his own answers or simply knows everyone elses answer? Would he answer the question with a question? The question I think would be "Who knows all the answers?" False Sages, people who exude confidence and abudance of wisdom, searching out people to progate their own propaganda, should be avioded. Their advice is tainted with desire and greed. They have their own agenda and you may never see it till it is too late. To sit upon a rock with the visage of snow capped mountains, and be at peace to be one with nature. To understand in the moment that their is no use for worries or anxiety. They will return but in the moment, just drink in the beauty. Feel the warmth of the sun warming you, feel the wind caressing your skin taking away the heat of the sun. In perfect balance you feel content, your breathing relaxed and you body at one with nature and the world. Try to find this moment in your life. Change the details but find the moment of balance.
