Last night, I checked my emails and I got one that had the line mentioned in the title. It went on ahead like this:
The way I understand this is that, the rest of the lines are extensions of the first line: No honor like knowledge. All the other lines emanate from the first one.
Hazar Imam goes on further explaining these lines and one of the things he said really led me to understand the lines better. Here is the line that struck me.
Let us focus on these virtues as long as we can and try to implement them in our lives to make this world a better place to live for us and also for the fellow human beings.
No honor is like knowledge, no belief is like modesty and patience, no attainment is like humility, no power is like forbearance, and no support is more reliable than consultationThese are the words of Hazrat Ali Ibn Abu Talib, quoted in one of the speeches of Hazar Imam.
The way I understand this is that, the rest of the lines are extensions of the first line: No honor like knowledge. All the other lines emanate from the first one.
Hazar Imam goes on further explaining these lines and one of the things he said really led me to understand the lines better. Here is the line that struck me.
What he thus is telling us is that we find knowledge best by admitting first what it is we do not know, and by opening our minds to what others can teach us.Therefore, the quest or thirst for knowledge makes us humble, modest, patient and accommodating to others ideas/thoughts/needs. These are the virtues that form a part of a virtuous / good human being / good leader / an ideal family member and many more.
Let us focus on these virtues as long as we can and try to implement them in our lives to make this world a better place to live for us and also for the fellow human beings.
