| Mohammed used to say, "A man of knowledgeability is just a donkey carrying holy scriptures." He may feel very proud amongst other donkeys, who are carrying mundane things: one carrying salt, another carrying mud, another carrying sand, another carrying wood – naturally the donkey who is carrying holy scriptures is a priest among the donkeys. He is a great scholar among the donkeys and all the donkeys are going to be respectful to him; he is no ordinary donkey... --Osho Sat Chit Anand, ch. 3 |
