"A student had an immense thirst for knowledge. How much ever his learning and knowledge grew, he only seemed more ignorant to himself, and ever more dissatisfied with his experience and wisdom. One day, he asked his guru:
“Oh Master! What is that, knowing which, I can know everything?”"
I was so awestruck by this question when I heard it from my closest friend, whose thirst for knowledge is even more insatiable. How can a question be so beautiful and striking, even more so because it has no answer that can instantly quench one's thirst?
Can you do more than sigh at the absence of a proper answer to that question?
