For the dharma to become firsthand knowledge-to feel the 'ouch' of it-you have to live intimately with it, hold it up to scrutiny, and let it hold you up to scrutiny.

In other words, you must ultimately find the way on your own, by putting your ideas of the truth to the test. Your questions light the way.
