Man's first priority: HUMILITY...

What is life? What is knowledge? In what wonderful, brilliant way does the earnest acceptance of ignorance 
transform itself into the magical launch
of the attainment of true knowledge?
Only when one honestly practices
and experiences this critical teaching
can something important, breathtaking,
dramatic happen both inside and outside him…  
One then realizes that all people
have human defects, have human prejudices;
what one perhaps doesn't’t realize
is that one has even more defects than all the others.  
All people have true boundaries,
they are imperfect and they are usually flawed.
This very healthy reminder of our limitations
brings us ever so closer to reality.  
The universe is so vast
that no matter how much we study it,
unsolved mysteries will always remain;
new, more faultless awareness
will quickly replace the old knowledge.  
The very most critical aspect
is recognizing our own human limitations:
In a humble and sincere way
to have the courage to acknowledge one,
just one very simple truth:  
that we stand impotent and powerless to grasp and comprehend
the vastness and complexity of the cosmos.

It simply denotes humility

in the presence of the superiority of God…

Does all this signify we should cease
our endless quest for the thirst of knowledge?

Just the opposite: we should continue as ever before
but first deeply espouse the truth
that we should first recognize our very own human limitations.
And not only the limitations of ourselves;
but also to isolate those of others.

The human who claims to "know" everything

should learn to use one simple phrase:

I know nothing…

But I'll try, recognizing my limitations...
