EDUCATION - - ELEVATION

That's why I will always say that I believe in elevation through education. These two aspects are secretly, intimely linked. You can't separate them. When you  wisely use these tools, they guide you to a form of humility that you would probably never know if you didn't take time to read, learn and try to understand your world. 

You'll understand that intelligence means absolutely nothing.

 You'll understand why Socrates said "I know that i know nothing". It's because it's true. We know nothing, but we can take the effort to try to know more everyday. 

Not to fulfill a feeling of superiority or whatever , but to understand more about yourself, your people, your world. To put your soul to an other level , our honorable Ibn Bagga would call it "Intellect". 

Don't try to take for granted any compliments about your intellect. Intellect is subjective, you can't quantify it. Thank the person and move on. Move on because you need to always keep in your mind that in fact, you know nothing. 

" He who has reached this degree has reached a state in which nature no longer opposes him and the bestial soul no longer resists him."  Ibn Bagga
