Nor, in conclusion, do I want to leave the impression that reading many books is important.
Reading great books and reading them well is what is important.
Meditative reading, reading which stops and ponders, reading which sees deep into reality - that is the kind of reading which profits.
That kind of reading should never end for you. Growth and stimulation and transformation will never end for you.
You will be in the company of the greatest minds and hearts for the rest of your life, and you will become their peers if you read for understanding and for life.
