Document Summary
Questioning, approaches in as if he wants to learn, but ends up teaching. Nothing but the separation of the soul from the body . Body constitutes major hindrance to attaining wisdom. The body confuses the soul and leads us to hold false beliefs. It must be through the soul that it could be known. Therefore; consort with body as little as possible. Those interested in wisdom ought to practice being dead. We cannot have pure knowledge with the body. Pure knowledge must be obtained apart from body (conclusion) Pure knowledge is possible, so soul must live without the body. The soul cannot live without the body. Your body is the one emerging the soul. If physical elements lies so close to the soul like a harp. If i know, i can"t search for the answer. If i do not know, i can"t search for the answer. If you don"t know the answer, you must search, so you must remember.
