Pure Mountain Tao

Knowledge or what is considered knowledge clutters up the mind the way hair can clog a drain. When this happens, very little wisdom can pass through. We have information fed into us from an early age, much of it useless ‘knowledge’. We attend colleges and are forced to take classes we have no interest in for the sake of a ‘well-rounded education’. More likely it would be honest to say a well-paid for education. When the mind is saturated with what passes for knowledge, wisdom has little chance to be absorbed.
