The Search for Wisdom, Happiness, Self and our Role in the World
"Wisdom cannot be communicated. Wisdom that a wise man tries to communicate always sounds foolish."
"Are you joking?" asked Govinda.
"I am not joking. I am telling you what I have found. Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. We can find it, we can live it, we can be carried by it, we can work wonders with it, but we cannot utter it or teach it. That was what I sometimes sensed in my youth, what drove me away from teachers." (Siddhartha)
