"I don't know" wise words

7 replies
"I don't know" words that today almost sound like sacrilege.

How many times in the past 30 days have you uttered these words?

How many times have you said to yourself these words and feel relieved?

The training we received pushes us to control all around us, all external circumstances we are experiencing and of course this control includes our future.

We try to use all our resources to buy a perfect future. The recognition that "we know something"; it's like recognizing that we are weak or clumsy.

However, these words "I don't know", are themselves a true liberation.

He who knows he does not know is ready to learn.

He who knows he does not know is prepared to receive.

He who knows he does not know is opening infinite possibilities.

He who knows he does not know is blessed to be everything and do not belong to anything.


This is the basis for universal force flowing through us. The surrender of our concerns and the desire to control that triggers fear in us.


For example when a woman becomes pregnant she doesn't know if it will be a boy or girl. In the first months the woman does not know the sex of the baby, the only thing that matters is that the baby is healthy and well.

It is the same concept that we must apply. We don't know what will happen tomorrow and it's really not as relevant as the fact that what comes into our lives bring us peace, harmony and happiness.

Sometimes we endeavor to take a route that apparently is the best without realizing that our fear, our greed, our desire to buy that perfect future is making us to see a wrong reality and to take the wrong decision.

    Scherezade,

    Realizing "we don't know" is an important first step.

    Unfortunately for many, it becomes a perceived roadblock that halts any further action.

    Working hard to find a way around "not knowing" something is really what is important, more so than simple acknowledgement that one "doesn't know."

    So what if you don't know? Every person on earth doesn't know many things.

    Knowing how to get past "don't know" is the important part.

    The best to all of you,

    Steve

    this may rub many the wrong way .. but the phrase used instead of "i don't know" is" i believe "

    there is way to much to know or to even form a belief on

    the problem is we as humans tend to think what is important for us to know should be important for others ..so if they tell us they do not know we label them as stupid..

    so if we utter the words we believe others label us as stupid ..

    this kind of thing burn my bottom when i see those are Americans stupid shows ..if you get most of what you know from watching the news or fake cope shops.. you may place yourself in a stupid box.

    then general population has been trained in modern society to know everything they can about a narrow band of topics ..which leaves them isolated unless they pay some attention to the stupid tabloid crap so they are relagated to caring about kim kardians new baby ..

    as Henrey ford said . there is a lot he didn't know ..but he had a huge rolodex or what ever it was called then.. so if there was something he needed to know ..he could contact someone who either knew it or could find it out for him .

    if there is one person more than anyone who had the most effect on the way we live now it was henry ford .

    so many thing we think are normal and the way thing should be..he either invented or perfected .

      Your quote from Henry Ford is brilliant, so true. That is the essence of using knowledge to grow, to apply the knowledge to your benefit and the benefit of many others.



      I also agree with you, we have to many labels

    In these times, "I don't know" is many times used to be on the safe zone or to cover up something. But I get your point guys!
