I get this quote form here :
It’s not possible to pass knowledge from one generation to the next, then to the next, then the next, without losing something along the way. Documents can be used to preserve teachings but contradictory documents will always appear. It’s not even possible to retain knowledge pristinely within one person’s mind without decay.
It may therefore be necessary for people to think for themselves – to feel the truth – to see it for themselves without needing to be told of it. Great knowledge has no origin – it’s not one person’s invention nor another’s – it’s simply observed by anyone with a clear enough mind – a mind free from unnecessary knowledge – a mind that appreciates the value of memory loss. Those who know, know you can too without needing to hear their words. Those who know don’t profess. That’s a good guess.
Is it a matter of co-incidence. I have been through up and downs in my life and this is one of the most important lessons I have learned, its is based on my experience, my ability to analyze and deduce truth of life’s facts. How come that Wing-Chun Masters already knew it thousands of years ago. I can’t remember the time or the exact experience on the basis of which I deduced this quote All I remember is, It only happened when I started to think about Why rather than how life is lived, why we get the misery, happiness or why some people remain corrupt and others remain honest, why people are different, why one has to grow old and dies. Why some Martial-Artists are better than others, Why some became monks while others evil. Why Martial-Art is so much connected with the nature, Why the kind of thing which is designed to be deadly, to break bones and kill people has so much peace inside of it. Why it is so. Its the Why that started it all and then after 8 years in 2009 a man named Lawrence Tan advises the same to me.
I was quite surprised to see the Why everywhere.
