Quote by Abdu'l-Baha
In order to find truth we must give up our prejudices, our own small trivial notions; an open receptive mind is essential. If our chalice is full of self, there is no room in it for the water of life.
Summary
This quote emphasizes the importance of embracing open-mindedness and letting go of personal biases and preconceived notions in the pursuit of truth. It suggests that having a mind filled with one's own ego and narrow perspectives leaves no space for new knowledge and enlightenment to enter. To discover truth, one must approach life with humility and receptiveness, ready to challenge their beliefs and be open to diverse perspectives. Only by emptying our minds of self-centeredness can we truly access the "water of life," symbolizing profound understanding and wisdom.
