"Just as a reservoir is of little use when the whole countryside is flooded, scriptures are of little use to the illumined man or woman, who sees the Lord everywhere."
Do you agree or disagree? And just for fun, guess where this passage comes from.

Reminds me of a Paulo original:
"The Bible is a parable for the saved, not a textbook for the damned".

Disagree if by scripture you mean the Holy Bible.
An illuminated man or woman lives by the scriptures of the Bible.

I would disagree. The Bible does affirm that GOD's handiwork can be seen everywhere. However, the Bible does speak of other things. The Bible points to the ONE who saves us from our wretchedness, among other things. It's clear that the Bible is of GREAT use, even to the illumined man or woman.
GOD bless
