Quote by Gautama Buddha
Just to say 'I believe' or 'I do not doubt' does not mean that you understand and see. To force oneself to see and accept a thing without understanding is political and not spiritual or intellectual.
Summary
This quote emphasizes the importance of understanding and critical thinking. Merely believing or denying something does not equate to true comprehension or sight. Blindly accepting without understanding is a manipulative and political act, rather than a genuine spiritual or intellectual endeavor. It suggests that true understanding requires questioning, analyzing, and seeking knowledge beyond surface-level assertions or dogmas.
