True Knowledge
Simplicity and Humility Lead to True Knowledge
The Apostle Paul tells us that it is better to be ignorant in speech rather than in spiritual knowledge (2 Cor. 11:6). Being skilled in speaking is a matter of human learning, as are the other forms of worldly education, but they do not contribute to the salvation of the soul. Even if one is ignorant and uneducated in secular and human knowledge, if they are dedicated to continual prayer, and to keeping their mind on God, the Lord will reveal Himself. The man who lives in simplicity and humility gains everything, whereas the man whose knowledge is worldly, and whose heart is devoid of all humility, gains nothing.
With love in Christ,
Abbot Tryphon
