strings: For the discovery of truth there is no path. You must enter the uncharted sea—which is not depressing, which is not being adventurous, When you want to find something new, when you are experimenting with anything, your mind has to be very quiet, has it not? If your mind is crowded, filled with facts, knowledge, they act as an impediment to the new; the diffculty is for most of us that the mind has become so important, so predominantly significant, that it-interferes constantly with anything that may be new, with anything that may exist simultaneously with the known. Thus knowledge and learning are impediments for those who would seek, for those who would try to understand that which is timeless.
