THE KEY TO THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE

reality passion is caused within ourselves (by our own thoughts
and emotions) and then projected onto an object of desire. Error is caused - from within ourselves or - by the influence of others - i.e. when we accept (believe in) con
cepts, teachings and belief-systems based on error. Both variations block our ability to find the way to more satisfying and comprehensive levels of inner growth.
Objection: We cannot possibly always orient our life towards growth so that we always recognize true knowledge. To achieve this our consciousness and senses would need to be flawless and working perfectly. Short of reaching total freedom from karma this is impossible.
Furthermore - why should someone who is not growth-oriented not also receive true knowledge at some time or another, even if this insight does not last?
And finally - what about all those who discover unknown things e.g. in the realm of science and who achieve the same results as other researchers. Should this not be called 'gaining true knowledge'?
Answer: There are two kinds of beings: those (bhavya), who direct their life towards achieving freedom from karmic limitations, and those who mainly care about worldly life (abhavya).
All those who really aspire total freedom, possess a special sense of discrimination: they know intuitively what knowledge and what lines of action will bring them closer to their goal. They attain the ability to arrange the components of their life in such a way that it supports the unfolding of consciousness.
All those not aspiring this freedom, concentrate mainly on the material range of reality (sometimes on its more subtle aspects like art etc.). But as intelligent, clear and comprehensive the knowledge and perception of such person may appear, they are and will remain
