THE TREE
HAS GROWN
TOO BIG
The truth that is known through our reading or through our
thinking is a partial truth. Partial truth is more dangerous than
ignorance.
We can say all this knowledge, which is an extrovert knowledge
through our mental understanding and emotional attachments,
has been the knowledge of the tree. And the tree has grown too
big. It has grown so big that it now has to face the truth that it
has lost its roots. If the tree becomes so big that the roots are not
nourishing it – and it has no knowledge of the roots – then the
tree will be destroyed. That is the reason why people have turned
around to seek the truth. They want the knowledge of the roots.
The roots are our nerves. Whatever we know through our nervous
system is the truth to us on a very gross level. If I know that
something is cold, then it is cold. And for everyone it will be cold
IT HAS LOST
ITS ROOTS
unless and until they are mad.
Now the knowledge of the roots has to be such that you get new
enrichment to the nerves. In your evolution, also you must get
your enrichment to your nervous system.
