Good books are rare, and to have a really good library, a few shelves are all we need. When I was still on my campus in India, I was convinced, like many professors, that if the Lord was to be found anywhere, it was in the lower stacks of the library. But now – just as when I go into a big department store, I can say, “How many things I don’t need! How many expensive suits I don’t want!” – when I enter a big library I say, “What tomes I don’t have to read again! What folios I will never open!” This feeling of freedom will come to all of us when we realise, in the depths of our meditation, that all wisdom lies within.
