It is said reading is the gate of great learning.
Whenever you go to a house, fist you go I thorough the gate.
Therefore the gate is a sign that you have reached the house. Going through this gate, you enter the house and meet with the host.
Reading is the gate to attainment of learning and understanding of reality. Therefore, reading is the gate, not the house. When you see the gate, do not think it is the house. You have to go through the gate to get to the house, which is inside, behind it.
Since reading is a gate, when you read books do not mistake it with understanding. This misconception has made many people remain ignorant of the reality no matter how much they study or how many words they know...
