Who Truly Knows
Who truly knows, and who can say — whence this world came, whence this creation arose? The sages came after all things were made; who then has seen the beginning?
Before a question I cannot answer, do I have the courage to honestly say 'I do not know'?
📝Reflection
One of the oldest scriptures honestly confesses that perhaps no one knows the origin of the world. 'Even the sages came after all things were made' — so there is no witness to the beginning. I feel this honesty is larger than any certainty. Only those who can say 'I do not know' keep asking, and only those who keep asking keep learning. Certainty closes the door; an honest question leaves it open.

In a conversation today, do not pretend to know what you are unsure of — say honestly, once, 'I really don't know that either.'
