Is There Anything You Could Say That Would Knock You Off?

The more that we rely on words and concepts, the further we move away from truth. The challenge always with these great teachers is that there's always an essence there. I just feel that the further it kind of moves outwards and as it moves out into society, the less and less it has to do with the essence. So all of a sudden, like the essence is lost. And so people are doing things and going through the motions of things, and not even really knowing what they're doing or why they're doing them.
