<p>To bring back the awareness of your own ignorance is fundamental. To be able to know anything, one must first admit that they don't know. Those that pretend to know, for them the possibility of knowing is not even there. </p>
<img src="4.png" class="imgRz">
<p>This mantra is not there to reject the possibility of knowing, <b>but rather it is there to remind you that there is always more to know</b>, Like what was explained at the top with the Ocean and bucket analogy, your mind is like a Bucket, and all of the whole world's knowledge is like an ocean. <b>Trying to empty that entire ocean into this bucket is a futile endeavor isn't it ?</b> Yes it takes time to fill that bucket with spoonfuls of that ocean (which your thoughts are), so it may feel rewarding to have filled that bucket after some time, <b>but the bucket being full does not mean that you managed to empty the entire ocean</b>.</p>
<p><u>Warning:</u> Do not mistake this for being pessimism, the goal is not to make you believe anything negative, <b>the goal is to destroy all beliefs, INCLUDING those negative beliefs.</b></p>
<p>This mantra is not there to reject the possibility of knowing either, <b>but rather it is there to remind you that there is always more to know</b>, Like what was explained at the top with the Ocean and bucket analogy, your mind is like a Bucket, and all of the whole world's knowledge is like an ocean. <b>Trying to empty that entire ocean into this bucket is a futile endeavor isn't it ?</b> Yes it takes time to fill that bucket with spoonfuls of that ocean (which your thoughts are), so it may feel rewarding to have filled that bucket after some time, <b>but the bucket being full does not mean that you managed to empty the entire ocean</b>.</p>

<p>Once the awareness of your own ignorance is brought back into you, as a reality that you keep close to you every day, you'll feel a burning longing to know in you. It may be uncomfortable at first, but this is essential for your wellbeing, because otherwise you become arrogant, bored, uninterested, the more you beocme identified with what you think you know.</p>
<p><b>This is especially a detriment to your mental health if you start to believe that you know everything.</b> If you start to think that there is nothing more to know, it means that you are rejecting the entire universe and it's countless possibilities. However, if on the contrary you are constantly aware that there is more to know, there will be wonder, curiosity, adventure, it will be impossible to stay bored! <b>This mantra is there to make sure that you stop stagnating.</b> There is always more to know, Always more to explore, Always more to discover, and you can't ever reject that objective truth. </p>
