Everything wrong with not getting to grips with the intellect. The intellect is merely the servant of wisdom. Whatever is realised with wisdom is communicated via the intellect. When getting to grips with the intellect has not occurred, enlightenment has not occurred. Thus the result is poor intellect. Poor communication. Problems with semantics. Like speaking Chinese to Indians.markandeya wrote: ↑Fri Aug 10, 2018 12:39 pm Nothing wrong with getting to grips with the intellect but to get stuck in them is not wise.
Yes, round & round to Hinduism, Zen, Buddhism, Catholicism, Guru X, Guru Y, Luang Por A, Luang Por B, Lama G, Lama D, Rinpoche M, Master P, etc. Round and round and round the world (loka) of Gods, Selves, Atmans, Views & Doctrines. The Dogma of "Neti, Neti" - "Me, Me".
You see, there is an inherently violent Hindu Guru tradition exemplified by Hindu Gurus such as KM & UG; always violently scolding & putting down others; always treating others as though they are not practising & should be practising. This violent tradition of Self & Conceit is not Buddhism. Those that practise this Exalting Oneself & Disparaging Others are not practising the Dhamma (MN 139). Its best to merely discuss the teachings & doctrines. If you tell someone to "Taste the Honey", this is the presumption they have not tasted the honey. Presumption is conceit & not dhamma.
