Knowledge is beyond time and cultures
Do you know how to recognize the face of the Soul?
If you have mental patterns, encrusted family education, cultural closures, if you are possessed by ideologies and theologies, you will never recognize the Atman when it presents itself.
If you are infatuated with culture, prevailing opinion, social judgment, then you depend on others and not on the Self.
Spiritual worlds are beyond space and time, let alone a small place, a small town, a small district, a small judgment, a small habitual and passive life.
When the immanent Atman presents itself, you don't recognize it and go looking for it in a best-selling book, in a marketing ploy.
You need to prepare for the encounter with Knowledge so that the angry and envious ego doesn't chase it away forever.
