Most spiritual scriptures are devotional. That is, they are intended for those who have already transcended the words. If you read these scriptures while you're still after the meaning contained in them, you'll only blind yourself.
Of what use are scriptures anyway? They are just words on what is essentially no better than toilet paper. One doesn't even need to be able to read to know the Truth. More often than not reading is a hindrance to the understanding of the essential. You will only become wise through your own courageous thinking. There is no other way! Go and ask a tree the meaning of the scriptures; it will give you a good answer.
