The Jewelcrest of Wisdom

Jewelcrest of Wisdom, Quote 1: "Sickness is not cured by saying 'Medicine,' but by drinking it. So a man is not set free by the name of the Eternal without discerning the Eternal.”

This quote really stood out to me, because it addresses paying lip-service versus taking something in and believing in it. This applies to spirituality, obviously in this context, but it also applies to many other areas of life. It is easy to say you want something, or that you intend to do something, but to find real success, you have to take the idea into yourself fully.

Quote 2: "The knowledge of the real by the eye of clear insight is to be gained by one's own sight and not by the teacher's. / The moon's form must be seen by one's own eyes; it can never be known through the eyes of another.”

This is a great quote, especially as some of us are graduating soon… That’s not really the intent of the passage, but I think it’s especially fitting now that we’ve spent so much time being told what the world will hold for us in the future. As everyone packs up and heads into the world described by everyone (teachers, peers, friends) they will have to see the world and make decisions for themselves.
