Summary

This quote suggests that true understanding and enlightenment cannot be achieved in an instant but must be attained gradually. If one were to acquire complete knowledge all at once, it would be too overwhelming to comprehend and integrate into one's life. Instead, the process of enlightenment should occur in stages, allowing for a deeper understanding of concepts and gradually assimilating newfound wisdom. By taking it step by step, individuals can absorb and appreciate the profound changes that accompany enlightenment, ensuring a more sustainable and transformative experience.
