Accumulating Knowledge Is Easy But Knowing Is Difficult. Quotes

Due to its inherent nature
mind can either be linked
to this world or to the one
who created this world ..

ना ढूंढ मुझे ज़मीं-ओ-आसमां की गर्दिशों में
मैं अगर तेरे दिल में नहीं तो कहीं भी नहीं ..

To see a World in a grain of sand,
And a Heaven in a wild flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand,
And Eternity in an hour.
- William Blake

I have again and again grown like grass.
I have experienced seven hundred and seventy moulds.
I died from minerality and become vegetable;
…And from vegetative-ness I died and become animal.
I died from animality and became man.

Then why fear disappearance through death?
Next time I shall die,
Bring forth wings and feathers like angels.
After that soaring higher than angels-
What you cannot imagine,
I shall be that. - Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi

ਔਖੀ ਰਮਜ਼ ਫ਼ਕੀਰੀ ਵਾਲੀ
ਚੜ ਸੂਲੀ ਤੇ ਬਹਿਣਾ
ਦਰ - ਦਰ ਤੇ ਟੁਕੜੇ ਮੰਗਣੇ
ਮਾਈਏ ਭੈਣੇ ਕਹਿਣਾ ..

Aukhi ramaz fakeeri waali
char sooli te behna
dar-dar te tukde mangne
maaiye bhene kehna ..

Details:
It is difficult to acknowledge, understand and follow vast hidden treasures of knowledge in Guru's teachings. One has to keep aside and sacrifice own intellect, experience, skill, smartness and ego. It is not everybody's cup of tea to beg from door to door calling upon mothers and sisters for alms like a fakir does.
