    .... hence, no enlightened man has ever written
    anything. But disciples have taken notes. All the
    literature that exists in the name of enlightened
    people is nothing but disciples’ notes.

    The problem becomes more and more complicated
    because the disciple is writing something which he
    does not understand. He loves the master, he has
    fallen into a deep love affair, but he does not
    understand the mystery of the master. He is under
    his magical influence, but he does not know his
    secret. Unless he knows his own secret he will
    never know the secret of the master, because they
    are not two things.

    The disciple thinks, has been thinking for ages,
    that the words of the master should not be lost;
    they are so precious, they are pure gold. At least
    something for the future generations should be
    collected. But his understanding is very small, and
    he writes according to his understanding.

    First, much is lost when the master speaks; then
    much is lost when the disciple hears; then much is
    lost when the disciple writes. And the disciple
    writes in one language, and then it goes on being
    translated into other languages. It becomes a
    faraway echo of the original...
