If you are a lawyer, then the overwiseness of being a lawyer will bother you. If your wife buys sugar in the black market, even then your mind you will say, 'Don't do that, don't do that.' So if a lawyer wants to do anything, suspicions will first arise in him saying, 'If I do that, such and such a law will apply to me,' and so he will miss the target and he will end up somewhere else.
Such is the evident problem of that excessive knowledge that you have attaind. That is why it continues to push and prod you. One continues to suffer because of this knowing. That is why 'we' say to you to say, 'I do not know anything.' Destroy all the 'goods' within you by doing this. It is like the chewed pieces of sugarcane they have been discarded. It has not helped you at all. You simply believe that it has helped but it has not been of any help at all. Your worries have not decreased, your ego has not gone down and neither have your anger-pride-deceit-greed. So just get rid of all the 'quarrelsome goods' within you which have accumulated from countless past lives. That is why 'we' tell you to keep the intent bhaav of, 'I do not know anything.' All the knowledge you have makes you suffer; it has not reduced your kashayas of anger-pride-deceit-pride, has it? So, that means that you have not really known anything. If you had, then your kashayas would not be so evident to others. Nevertheless, even in that situation also, you do not achieve anything because you never know when the not-soevident kashayas, will erupt again. You keep feeding them through your intellect but that has led you to suffer in countless lives. That is why if you have the inner intent of, 'I do not know anything,' then you will find a solution.
One seeker had read many scriptures. When he came to receive this Gnan, I told him, 'Can you show me the clay container that holds your sweet milk dish ( doodhapak)?' When he showed me what he had, I told to him, 'If you take this to a vendor who sells hot peppers and ask him if it was okay for you to put his hot peppers in it, he will tell you, you can put a little in it, because he wants to sell it to you. Then if you go to the salt merchant and ask him the same, he will tell you that you can. If you go and ask any vendors, they will tell you it is okay for you to add whatever they are selling to your sweet dish. In this way, your precious sweet dish will be ruined; it will ruin the taste in your mouth.
That is why 'we' make you throw away the sweet dish along with the container. Even the smell of it is not wanted. So, everything that you have
