Via

Knowledge that is acquired is not like this. Those who have it worry if audiences like it or not. It's a bait for popularity. Disputational knowing wants customers. It has no soul ... The only real customer is God. Chew quietly your sweet sugarcane God-Love, and stay playfully childish. — Rumi
