Knowledge is something we cannot buy or restrain from being obtained. Knowledge is something we need to develop on our own, and it just requires the willingness for doing so. Even when we’re in the face of an environment dominated by darkness, which tries to impose such a restriction, we’ve all we need at hand to unchain ourselves. We need to focus on developing the knowledge we’ve acquired instead of worrying about anything or anyone on the outside. The more we realise the outside defines nothing about who we’re, the better we understand why we’re the ruler of our own mind.
We all need to understand the role of being a fool when we put more value on anything else rather than life, love, and knowledge. Those are the pillars for supporting the self while walking the path towards a meaningful life. The acquisition of material values is optional, and therefore, never a priority for a conscious mind whose priority is stepping into their personal evolution.
The three jewels of Buddhism are the clear representation of the structure of a society supported by the three pillars of life, love, and knowledge. Life and love get mixed to constitute a powerful atom where the state of buddhahood and the sangha get established. Knowledge is then represented by the dharma, the natural rules of the universe we start following when we step out from our own suffering.
In order to face darkness and deal with the negative conditioning we’re subjected to in the environment we’re inserted into, we need clearly understanding the meaning of those three jewels, and why the moment they’re either followed or obtained through conditioning, which means using them in symbiosis with darkness, we cannot step into our personal evolution; instead, we fall down towards our deterioration. Let’s keep consciousness at hand to not mistaking the state of buddhahood, and the Buddha himself, as the ideals promoted by Nazi Germany, and the values disseminated by Hitler while in the position of a dictator distorting all values that define us as equal human beings.
