Second hand or intellectual knowledge does not dispel ignorance or the pain and suffering it brings into our life. Ignorance flees from the direct perception of truth--this is spiritual knowledge. When one has direct perception of truth and begins to live it--this is wisdom. With spiritual wisdom lasting happiness is possible.

Ego is the "I maker." Soul is the "opportunity maker." The opportunity to awaken to infinite good, to divine love, exists in every moment.
