People
who are attached to sutras and a scriptural teaching of words can lack
faith in the living, mysterious experience of meditation that leads to a
sudden insight. They are . . . attached to the stubborn habit of
distinguishing between "true" and "not true." Believing only what is
written in holy texts, they are conceptually mesmerized by the treasures
of others, instead of digging inside to discover the priceless gems of
their own, lying deep within.
