Most teachings today are like processed food—refined, packaged, and designed to satisfy the mind’s craving for conceptual understanding. Concepts are like candy to the mind, offering something sweet to consume. But just as processed food lacks true nourishment, processed teachings lack true transformation. They are widespread, taste good intellectually, but do not nourish the soul.
Those with a sweet tooth for concepts seek out teachers who serve spirituality on a silver platter—fattening the ego instead of starving it. Like a sugar addiction, seekers enjoy the sugar high and suffer the sugar crash, feeding an endless cycle of craving. For many, the spiritual journey is a sugar-coated path through candy land, where teachers are sampled like sweets in an insatiable search for satisfaction.
Truth cannot be sugar-coated. Truth is raw nourishment—unprocessed, unrefined, and uncompromising. It’s not comfort food, nor does it cater to the mind’s picky palate—it simply is. Truth requires no explanation, only direct experience. The Truth is hard to swallow, but once digested, all craving ends.
