Much learning does not teach understanding. -- Heraclitus
Heart-knowledge is more important than head-knowledge.
Our heart...God...speaks to our head; our head...ego...speaks louder than our heart.
There. To lower the volume on our ego is the spiritual U-turn we must make to be redirected...away from self toward God. This is the less-than principle that makes that turn vital; i.e., go for less not more, here it is less volume not more.
Our reasoning mind fears that is "getting it wrong," and Fr Richard calms with "We don't get to God by doing it right, we get to God by doing it wrong."
Paradox alert! To be right can never be wrong, but to be wrong is a right road to travel.
There in our heart, not our head, is our gold, our peace, love and joy.
Thank you.
