Does the knowledge of Scriptures lead one to Enlightenment? If that is so, half of the people would have become Buddhas by now. People are amassing knowledge, without enlightenment. Why?
For the realization of Supreme Truth, knowledge alone is not enough. Scriptures can be learned by anyone who puts in an effort. But how many are aware of the deep meaning or essence of the teachings. To understand the essence of the scriptures, tremendous effort is needed. For that effort you may not receive accolades from the world. You have to toil for your own satisfaction. Once you achieve it and can live it, then you are truly blessed.
The path to inner wisdom is through meditation. In the profound stillness and silence things are revealed to you. There the union/yoga of the individual consciousness and cosmic consciousness take place. Only a true Yogi has the power / perception to differentiate the real from the unreal.
