If you can understand that you don't know anything, then that is the first ray of wisdom. Now you have become honest. Now you have at least accepted one truth: that you don't know anything. You have put your scriptures aside and you have left your words behind. You have become honest. You have become authentic with yourself in seeing that you don't know anything about your soul or about salvation; you don't know what life is all about. This acceptance of your ignorance is the first step of wisdom.
