As we all are works in process and hopefully, in progress, there will be a need to relinquish the old instruments so that the new may b used for our benefit. Parting with such old and useless instruments may be a challenging and even painful process. Such things may be deeply intermeshed into the fabric of our lives. Parting may mean temporary sorrow. Speaking only from things I know...
Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe
in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.
Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees
with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.
