The Seven Shades of Wisdom

1. He who knows not, yet strives to know is a seeker.
2. He who knows not what he should know is a wanderer, guide him.
3. He who knows not what he should know is asleep, awaken him.
4. He who know not, and fears is a slave, free him.
5. He who knows not, and rejects to know is dead, pass him.
6. He who knows, and shares what he knows is wise, feed him.
7. He who knows not, but claims to know is an imposter, cast him away.

“The time will come when all these seven manifests will be absorbed, and man and beast and plant and earth and protoplast will be redeemed.” HKMSTA XI:39
