Love and learning. Don't know much, and am wary of people who say they do. I think youth is meant to be spiked with arrogance, and tempered with the subsequent mistakes. Claiming to be a knower has the effect of isolating people, which is the opposite of enlightenment. "Knowing is being," said Ramana Maharshi. This means that thoughts and identifications are given up like sucking thumbs in exchange for truth And the simplest definition of truth is "that which exists." So does a rock, a star, or an animal need to say, "I am?" The star is a star by being a star, not by saying or thinking "I am a star." Whatever it is that must assert that it is is surely not you in the first place.
