Ego and Knowledge: Barriers on the Spiritual Path
In the context of Sufism, when I say that "knowledge is a barrier," I refer to the idea that intellectual or accumulated knowledge can block the direct experience of spiritual truth.
True understanding does not arise from concepts or externally acquired knowledge, but rather from an inner, profound experience. Excessive knowledge can feed the ego, creating a distance between the individual and spiritual reality, preventing one from connecting with the mystery of being and the essence of life.
