A satsang reflecting on learning, concentration, and the student-teacher relationship.
"Tons of theory cannot be compared with a gram of practice."
"To know how, we have everything, but we have an accident here of our spine... you have to get that inner key from the master."
The lecturer addresses attendees after a week of practice and philosophical talks. He questions how much they retained from the lectures, leading to a discussion on the limits of intellectual understanding versus experiential learning. Using stories, analogies like "honey on the elbow," and the parable of a master key in a stone gate, he emphasizes that true knowledge comes from a guru's direct transmission and dedicated practice, not merely scholarly theory.
