The One Who Knows

In every industry

There is One Human.

 

Maybe Two.

 

Who Knows.

 

The rest

Are pretenders.

 

The rest

Are “experts.”

 

The rest

Are talking heads on television.

 

The rest

Are eager to spout their advice.

 

There is 1,

Maybe 2

Who have largely figured out

The stock market.

 

Making millions

Whether the market goes up

Or down.

 

The rest

Are “financial advisors.”

 

The rest

Are “money mangers.”

 

In every industry,

There is 1,

Maybe 2

Who Knows.

 

The rest

Are talkers

And authors

And conference speakers

And newsletter writers

And “experts.”

 

They

Do not Know.

 

If they did,

They would not need

To continue working.

 

While the experts are spouting

Green, blue, purple, and orange tea

With a hint of ginseng

And a dash of urine,

There is a man somewhere in the East

Who is laughing.

 

For he figured out the secret to health

And longevity

137 years ago.

 

In every industry,

There is 1,

Maybe 2,

Who Knows.

 

While the coaches are spellbound

With the notion of “10,000 hours,”

There is actually a way to learn it

In 29 hours.

 

While the spiritualists

Are meditating and mindfulness-ing

Day and night,

Buddha himself would say

That meditation had little to nothing to do

With his Enlightenment.

 

While the business students

Are standing in line

Waiting to pay for the privilege

Of getting chosen to receive an MBA,

Those who made Billions in business

Dropped out of undergrad.

 

In every industry,

There is 1,

Maybe 2,

Who Knows.

 

The more popular an expert

The less he knows.

 

The one who Knows

Spends more time and effort

Protecting his Knowledge

Than spouting it.

 

The Truth

Is to be protected at all costs.

And revealed in measured doses

To one who is Ready.

 

And even then

At the complete discretion

Of the one who Knows.

 

Knock on the door

Of the most successful investor in the world

And see how eager and gleeful he is

To let you into his fund.

 

Try it if you wish.

See for yourself.

 

Visit the all-knowing Master

At 18,000 feet in the Himalayas

And see how eager and gleeful he is

To teach you.

 

Try it if you wish.

See for yourself.

 

The more Truth one knows

The less interested he is . . .

In YOU.

 

It stands to reason.

 

For Truth

Is a thing to be protected.

 

Not released to the unserious masses

For dilution, bastardization, and destruction.

 

Namaste.
