At Some Point You Have to Throw Away the Books and Just Do It!

Whether you are an innocent beginner or seasoned adept, you must show some spirit! Don’t vainly memorize other people’s sayings: a little bit of reality is better than a lot of illusion. Otherwise you’ll just go on deceiving yourself.

"Don't vainly memorize other people's sayings"

Oh, the irony...
 
At least try experiencing equanimity.
And indeed it is not experience that matters, which is the past and is dead. Experiencing is what is.
 
There is nothing to understand or to achieve.
There is only what is.
