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.

I have told you that, no matter how many times you have refused to enter the sanctuary, you have only to knock and the door will be opened to you. I have said to you Ask and it shall be given you, but you refuse to believe in me. You think that someone is counting your sins, your moments of indecision or recalcitrance, but it is not true. You are the only one counting.I say to you brother, stop counting, stop making excuses, stop pretending that the door is locked. I am here at the threshold. Reach out and take my hand and we will open the door and walk through together.I am the door to love without conditions. When you walk through, you too will be the door.http://www.paulferrini.com/html/door.html
