Summary

This quote suggests that clarity and simplicity are found in small truths, whereas great truths often carry deeper meaning that cannot be adequately expressed in words. The comparison between water in a vessel (which can be seen and understood) and water in the sea (which appears dark and mysterious) illustrates this point. It highlights the idea that substantial or profound truths often surpass verbal expression, relying instead on an unspoken, profound silence to convey their essence.
