"Netici tam, ko esi izlasījis grāmatās.
Netici tam, ko cits saka, ka tā ir patiesība.
Netici vārdiem, kuri sakņojas tradīcijā.
Atrodi patiesību pats. Pārbaudi to."
Swami Vivekananda

Buda ir teicis to pašu domu:
"Netici man, netici rakstiem, ne tradīcijai. Pārbaudi pats."

(citāts no Kalama Sutta: “Now, Kalamas, don’t go by reports, by legends, by traditions, by scripture, by logical conjecture, by inference, by analogies, by agreement through pondering views, by probability, or by the thought, ‘This contemplative is our teacher.’ When you know for yourselves that, ‘These qualities are skillful; these qualities are blameless; these qualities are praised by the wise; these qualities, when adopted & carried out, lead to welfare & to happiness’ — then you should enter & remain in them.”)
