Summary

This quote suggests that contemplation and wisdom are the greatest accomplishments one can achieve in life, but humans struggle to fully grasp and integrate these qualities into their being. It implies that while we may aspire to seek knowledge and achieve enlightenment, there may always be an inherent disconnect between these lofty ideals and our human nature. Despite our best efforts, we may never truly feel completely "at home" with the depths of contemplation and wisdom.
