Summary

This quote suggests that individuals should explore and utilize their inherent strengths by navigating between the contrasting aspects of life. The two "opposing poles" indicate the diverse experiences and perspectives that exist within humanity. By embracing these opposing forces, individuals can tap into their abilities effectively. Moreover, the quote implies that the purpose of such exploration is for personal growth and spiritual development since "inside human beings is where God learns." In other words, by fully embracing and learning from life's challenges and contradictions, individuals can contribute to their own self-improvement and, perhaps, play a part in the divine's understanding of the human experience.
