    Very little was recorded on paper. You see it's mankind that tries to create dogmas out of words, hence the warning.

    For the rest the Absolute Truth is like a fruit, you are just going to have to taste it to realise it's flavour.

    Many of the worlds great leaders use few words to describe truths, often in a simple form so that even the least learned of us could understand too. The words are just a vessel and an approximtion..I mean try to define the color Blue in words...which is why Buddha didn't even try as that is beyond all of our understandings, his too.
    Thanks for agreeing with me
