The teaching of Tradition is not based on moral principles or metaphysical abstractions, nor on logical rules with which to rigidly pigeonhole existence: one must learn to give up these ways of understanding in order to access a more subtle level of perception. It is a path that presupposes the knowledge and inner development of the human being beyond any restrictive limit imposed by culture, religions, philosophies or scientific paradigms.
Since it is a predominantly empirical type of wisdom, the teaching cannot be transmitted according to the usual academic education system, but requires specific organisms responsible for this delicate and demanding function, which must take care of the individual in all his aspects without neglecting any: physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual.
In ancient times, in different places and different cultures, there were specific entities that dealt with this, and they were held in high regard by the people for the delicate and fundamental task that was entrusted to them. Only a select few were allowed to cross its threshold, and they were certainly not selected based on their wealth or academic knowledge, but rather for their real “inner thirst”.
In this era, education for competition clouds human relationships, the hunger for power quenches the inner thirst, making the Truth that exists beneath the surface of things inaccessible: “Truth is always hidden from a superficial vision”
