This is a recurrent theme with Fukuoka. I translated a few lines
from his last work, the Iroha Revolutionary Verses, which he wrote in
the years before he passed away and in which he said he summarized
his life’s experience.
Iroha Revolutionary Verses by Fukuoka Masanobu
First of all, throw it all away, the handcuffs of time and the
shackles of money. … Too much wasted time, too many useless things.
… Knowledge is not wisdom, collecting knowledge, we destroy wisdom.
Thanks _very much_ for posting this Dieter. I have hardly ever read anything as nice and as thoughtful. His writings are unique, fragile, timeless and a refuge.
I found this recently:
All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become.
