If you believe in the head too much – that means believing in
doubting – this jump becomes impossible. There have been great
philosophers; they thought and thought, and they pondered and
contemplated, and they have created big systems, miracles of
words, but they are not nearer to the truth than any ignorant
man. Rather, on the contrary, the ignorant man may be nearer,
because at least he is humble in his ignorance, at least he is
not egoist, at least he can listen to the other. At least if a
buddha comes to the town the ignorant man can go to him, because

philosopher cannot go because he already knows. That is the
problem: without knowing anything, he thinks he knows. This is
happening with me every day. If a philosopher comes, a
psychiatrist comes – a man who has studied psychology,
philosophy and religion in some university – it is difficult,
almost impossible to have any communion with him. You can
