Open Hands, Open Mind: On the Quiet Nature of Wisdom.

True wisdom walks quietly.

It does not rise above others, nor does it sharpen itself against those who know less.
What is understood deeply is held gently, like water in open hands.

The wise do not use knowledge to elevate themselves,
but to soften the ground where others may grow.

For in humility, understanding becomes compassion—
and in compassion, wisdom finds its true form.

TsL. 26
