A vessel already full,
Can take in no more!
A dictionary can’t be wise
Any more than a library, enlightened!
Only a famished stomach,
Can be satiated with food!
Water collects in hollows,
Not on top of hills!
Erudition enlightens not,
Direct experience does!
A humble, sincere heart,
Can find its core of gold!
To empty oneself of learning,
Is to make space for wisdom!
