Quote by Bodhidharma

If you use your mind to study reality, you won't understand either your mind or reality. If you study reality without using your mind, you'll understand both.

If you use your mind to study reality, you won't understand

Summary

This quote suggests that using only our minds to study reality might limit our understanding of both our minds and reality itself. By limiting ourselves to thoughts and intellectual analysis, we may miss out on a fuller comprehension of the complexities of our minds and the world around us. On the other hand, the quote implies that by opening ourselves up to experiencing and observing reality without solely relying on intellectualizing, we can gain a deeper understanding of both our minds and the nature of reality. Overall, the message underscores the importance of a holistic approach to understanding.
