One can, and often does, go through numerous books, a whole library perhaps, and yet comes out without the faintest realization of what one is.
Learning often renders a disservice, especially
when it causes a person's ego and pride to develop;

They do not lead to true happiness.
People try to find out about things which are outside themselves
They do not lead to true happiness.
People try to find out about things which are outside themselves
before they try to find out
'Who am I?'
Only by this means can they gain happiness
- not by understanding the whole universe, for the Self is happiness."
