Sorting The Wheat From The Chaff
Chaff: dry worthless outer covering of wheat.
Sorting the wheat from the chaff: this phrase refers to the separation of direct wisdom from empty repetition.
A name or title is merely an outer covering; we have to decide whether the inner quality is true and nourishing, and not just show. For every ‘expert’, there is a counter ‘expert’.
Ultimately, we are the authority of our lives. The majority decides on which ‘expert’ to follow, but just take another look at the world.
All that glitters is not gold.
‘Facts’ (the wheat) may be bound by interpretation (the chaff).
BUDDHA IN THE MUD is a blog - a living book based on the Dzogchen teachings. Our teacher is life, and life is karma. In this way, Dzogchen is practical - no bells and whistles required. 
Why think to divide and short at all, to get a castrated food?The seed as is, is perfect and nourishing.
This is a metaphor for buyer beware.

Hello ΠΡΟΜΗΘΕΥΣ ΒΑΦΕΙΑΔΗΣ – separating the wheat from the chaff … chaff is indigestible to us humans. The seed itself may be perfect and nourishing, but first it has to have the scaly coating of chaff – as Tony said, the outer covering – removed before it can benefit us nutritionally. Daisy
