Wait and look earnestly

[Guest guest]

Understand one thing well, and you have arrived.

What prevents you from knowing is not the lack

of opportunity, but the lack of ability to focus

in your mind what you want to understand. If you

could but keep in mind what you do not know, it

would reveal to you its secrets. But if you are

shallow and impatient, not earnest enough to look

and wait, you are like a child crying for the moon.
