THE LIGHT OF THE ENLIGHTENED
The eye has many virtues but it has one weakness. It can see everything around it, but it cannot see the mote within itself. To remove the mote somebody's help is necessary. · The mind, too, suffers from this peculiar weakness. It can think of everything and everybody, but it cannot think of itself. That is why the mind can remove the mote within it only with the help of someonethe guidance of someone enlightened with a spiritual light.
