And if one says, "No, I will not do it today, I am tired now and I do not know how it can do me any good," his mind is not in its right place. He should not have taken the trouble of going to the initiator and having given him the trouble. He could have spared himself and the initiator both. And if a person did the practices and had no faith in it, nor in the initiator, then he will not receive benefit just the same. It is very easy to say, "I know this." But it is very difficult to say, "I know nothing." And the moment one says, "I know nothing," that is the moment he begins to learn and to know what is worth knowing. Never go to your initiator, therefore, with knowledge. No matter how much knowledge you have, it is of no use, it is not wanted there. It is not the path that requires knowledge to be taken to the initiator. The best thing is to put it away and go like an empty cup that may be filled.
