"Those who argue and discuss without understanding the truth are lost amid all the forms of relative knowledge, running about here and there and trying to justify their view of the substance of ego. If you realize the self in your inmost consciousness, it will appear in its purity. This is the womb of wonder, which is not the realm of those who live only by reason." Lankavatara Sutra
As for realizing "SELF" - ....... but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Philippians 2:3
As for that "womb of wonder" - Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, ..Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 2 Timothy 3:7
As for the ability to use reason - and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: 1 Peter 3:15
