The ordinary people, accept the time and matters (like chair, table etc.) and persons (Mum, Dad and brother etc.).Then they accept the world.

Once a person started to listen Sathdhamma, he/she would hear that the world (knowledge) is an illusion.




A Part of the listeners follow the Buddha and they accept his sermons, but they cannot see the vision, because truth cannot be accepted.
The second part of listeners does not follow the Buddha’s teaching, and they do not accept what Buddha saying. They also cannot see the vision, because truth cannot be unaccepted either.




The third part of listeners has suspicion of all kind of knowledge, but they listen to the Buddha repeatedly. If someone listens to the Saddhamma his/her thinking will be degraded because Saddhamma will develop the path of ‘seeing’ but not the procedure of “understanding”. The ‘understanding process’ enhances the thinking. However the path of ‘seeing’ deteriorates the thinking. One day he/she will see the universal truth without thinking. At this moment, he/she cannot see the world through eyes, because the world is created by the thinking/knowledge. He/she sees the ‘Aloka’, the ‘Panna’ ( Aloko Udapadie, Panna Udapadie).



If someone sees the Buddha’s words, he/she has no more suspicion. Why is that? He has no more accepted knowledge left in his mind to suspect. ''This is the middle path beyond the knowledge.''



Some of the ordinary people believe that the middle path is existed through the knowledge. They use their effort to see the vision through their knowledge. Nobody can find the middle path through the knowledge, because knowledge is always relative to one another. We cannot stay in the middle between the fear and aversion because; fear and aversion are relative to the person’s knowledge.



The middle path is beyond the knowledge, beyond the duality and beyond the time. No more acceptances of knowledge in the Middle path.
