Thought of the day.

All scriptures were written after self-realization.

What would they write about if people who wrote them were not self-realized?

Mahavir ( or Buddha or whoever ) had to say something to the world, but what?

What they learned from self-realizing.

So scriptures were their spoken experiences, which were later put down in written form.

But experience had to take place first.

Reading scriptures would not take you anywhere.

They may be good enough to get the proper direction, but you cannot BECOME Buddha by reading them.

Experience is everything.
