Quote by Franz Kafka
It is not necessary that you leave the house. Remain at your table and listen. Do not even listen, only wait. Do not even wait, be wholly still and alone. The world will present itself to you for its unmasking, it can do no other, in ecstasy it will writhe at your feet.
Summary
This quote implies that one does not need to actively seek out experiences or engage in external actions to understand and unravel the world. Instead, by being still, patient, and attentive, the world will naturally reveal its true nature and unveil its secrets before one's eyes. Through solitary observation and patience, one can find a deep connection and understanding of the world's essence, causing it to unravel and surrender in a state of ecstasy and vulnerability.
