A man doesn't begin to attain wisdom until he recognizes that he is no longer indispensable

Summary

This quote suggests that true wisdom can only be achieved when a person acknowledges their own limitations and understands that they are not irreplaceable or indispensable in all aspects of life. It implies that by letting go of the ego-driven need to be important or needed, one can open themselves up to learning, growth, and a deeper understanding of the world around them. Recognizing that others can contribute and that one's own presence is not essential at all times allows individuals to embrace humility and gain a more balanced perspective.
