A very clever student who
learned meditation here and there is doubtful to the approach of
accepting, flowing, smiling in meditation. With critical mind he asked:
"Do we also accept ignorance in meditation?". Sadly speaking, it
is not allowed to open the secret of Tantra to commoners in the wrong place and
the wrong time. For that reason, this student is only suggested to meet Guru
who is suitable to him.
Cleverness as Obstacle
In university, cleverness is highly valued. But when it comes to deep spiritual journey, cleverness is a serious obstacle. Stupidity is much easier to penetrate, especially because the feeling of being stupid then makes someone willing to learn and listen. Cleverness is the opposite. Clever person love to position themselves higher and then refuses to learn. In some cases, they made dangerous mistakes to the Guru.
