Chasing a mirage known as Knowledge …

Once Buddha held a few leaves in his hand asked his disciples which was more the leaves in his palms or the leaves in the forest. The disciplines gave the obvious answer that the leaves in the forest are much more than the leaves in his hand.
To this Buddha replied “ Of everything that I know, I have only told you only a little. What I have not told you is much more like the leaves in this forest. I have not told you all that will not take you to the path of enlightment and have shared what will take on that path”
In this age of we are barraged with information in all angles and we tend to get enamored by this information flow. Most of the information might not even be useful to us however we are interested in knowing it…
In the generation of facebook and google, many a time we are trying to gather all the leaves in the forest and forgetting the fact that we need only a handful leaves to be enlighted.
