What you see it's not what it is

Reading to understand the meaning can be mind twisting and literally, requires some out of mind flexibility to get into the author's state of mind at the time and place of the thinking process.

The sporadic quotes above will give anybody the sense of confusion if they're not familiar with the author train of thought and the time and place for his insights.

Without being well aware of this kind of knowledge it will seem impossible to comprehend the meaning behind the writing.

The beauty of this kind of expressions; that it is possible, by getting into the same mindset as the author's and that by familiarize oneself with their habits.

That doesn't mean that understanding is an exact science, but it's kind of art by itself, you understand it the way you read it.

One can only be responsible for his own saying, not how it might be understood.

The Prophet Gibran Kahlil. Ch 11 On Buying & Selling

Chapter 11 On Buying & Selling AND a merchant said, Speak to us of Buying and Selling. And he answered and said: To you the earth yields her fruit, and you shall not want if you but know how to fill your hands. It is in exchanging the gifts of the earth that you shall find abundance and be satisfied. Yet unless the exchange be in love and kindly justice it will but lead some to greed and others to hunger. When in the market-place you toilers of the sea and fields and vineyards meet the weavers and the potters and the gatherers of spices, – Invoke then the master spirit of the earth, to come into your midst and sanctify the scales and the reckoning that weighs value against value.

The Prophet Gibran Kahlil. Chapter 18 On Teaching

Chapter 18 On Teaching THEN said a teacher, Speak to us of Teaching. And he said: No man can reveal to you aught but that which already lies half asleep in the dawning of your knowledge. The teacher who walks in the shadow of the temple, among his followers, gives not of his wisdom but rather of his faith and his lovingness. If he is indeed wise he does not bid you enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind. The astronomer may speak to you of his understanding of space, but he cannot give you his understanding. The musician may sing to you of the rhythm which is in all space, but he cannot give you the ear which arrests the rhythm, nor the voice that echoes it. And he who is versed in the science of numbers can tell of the regions of weight and measure, but he cannot conduct you thither. For the vision of one man lends not its wings to another man. And even as each one of you stands alone in God’s knowledge, so must each one ...
