Knowledge that you put into practice will remain yours

June 20th 2024
Human beings possess two kinds of knowledge: that which truly belongs to them, and that which is somewhat alien to them. Those whose knowledge is purely theoretical and never put into practice in life are not really the owners of that knowledge. Even if they are considered to be the greatest philosophers on earth, they will be obliged to return as ignorant men or women in their next reincarnation, deprived of all the knowledge they once had. Whereas the humblest human beings who strive to put what they know of the virtues into practice will return with innate possibilities, with true intelligence and wisdom.
All the knowledge that you have lived and experienced for yourselves will remain yours, and you will take it with you, even if you live on another planet one day. But your theoretical knowledge, all that you have learned from books, will fade and be lost, for it is only borrowed.*
