The Knowledge GREED

You are accumulating knowledge out of greed.

 

There’s no difference between knowledge-greed and materialistic greed. Or spiritual greed, on that matter.

Greed is greed.

If your motivation is accumulation — then it’s greed.

And the consequences are the same. You are stuck in the chase. Stuck in the time – which becomes the means to an end. The end being indefinite accumulation.

It’s stressful. It’s exhausting. And foremost — it’s dissatisfying. This very dissatisfaction will chip away on you. You will wonder why you are depressed. Why you are so tired. Why this life turned out to be such a chore.

 

So KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

Are you curious? Or are you just greedy?

You don’t have to be greedy.

It’s that simple. You don’t have to be greedy. You can recognise your desire to accumulate – accept it – then refuse to act on it. Not renounce is not escape it – but accept it – then solve it. Through the light of consciousness, through the light of understanding, you will be able to dissolve it.

You will ask yourself: WHY AM I GREEDY?

You will ask yourself: WHY DO I DESIRE TO ACCUMULATE? TO GROW? TO BECOME MORE? TO BE MORE KNOWLEDGEABLE MORE WEALTHY MORE POWERFUL?

You will ask yourself and perhaps you will learn that you really really just wish to be good enough. Or that you really really wish to secure your permanence.

And then perhaps you will see that you are good enough – because you can’t get any better.

Or perhaps you will see that there’s no point in securing your permanence – because nothing is permanent.

I don’t care what your motivation are. Greedy or not please look at yourself and know yourself.

Accumulation of knowledge is said to be so respectable but it’s no different then common greed.

Look at yourself and be free.
