"The mind tries to understand the truth, as it wants a rational answer to everything, so it actively seeks out these answers. But these answers only arrive when the mind quiets down. This is when you understand the truth, and when knowledge becomes wisdom. Knowledge only transforms into wisdom through experience, not through the mind."
Sri Prem Baba

Real Devotion | July 24, 2014
Real devotion only arises when you have
a glimpse of emptiness, some glimpse of the nature of mind. Once you
have some very precise insight as to how emptiness helps to alleviate
suffering, then devotion is based on a real, embodied experience.
—Kyabgön Phakchok Rinpoche, "Keys to Happiness"
