About This Quote
Knowledge of the senses is everything we can know about the world. Anything beyond that is a separate realm of consciousness that cannot be accessed by the mind. This quote from a Buddhist text encapsulates a very important truth: You can’t get greater knowledge from any other place. It's not enough to have a good grasp of the five senses; you also need to know why they work and how they work. In short, you need to understand how reality works.
