And now one may ask, "What is that knowledge? How can one attain to it?" The first condition is to separate this outer knowledge from the inner knowing. False and true, the two things cannot go together. It is in separating the real from the unreal. The knowledge gained from the outer world is the knowledge of the cover of all things, not of the spirit of all things. Therefore that knowledge cannot be essential knowledge. It is not the knowledge of the spirit of all things; it is the knowledge of the cover of all things which we study and call learning, and to it we give the greatest importance.
