Most people will read two pages of this book and hand it back. But that's their failure, not the books'.
If you read the above quote, and don't get its true meaning, don't get this book, it will read as pure nonsense.
The true meaning is that we (the cripple, all of us) use logic (a tool, the crutch) to help us (which is good), but at some point in time (after you've mastered logic) you reach an understand that there is no right or wrong, no point in progress or success, that the universe does not care about any of this, and that logic now holds you back (from enlightenment).
Using logic, you can be a scholar, even a philosopher, but you'll never reach enlightenment.

Now watch the truly crippled downvote this away.
