Today's lecture


What you do not know is the only thing you know.

What you own is what you do not own.

Where you are is where you are not.

These three lines will teach us the best lessons of what life is all about. The first sentence tells us that we must know the fact that we know nothing and we are just learning and we should keep learning and never say that I know everything; instead, know the limitations of our knowledge and the way we keep learning by knowing that what we have learned is not enough, and then we will understand that "what you do not know is the only thing you know." The next sentence is that what you own is what you do not own, meaning we think that the house we own is ours, the people who are with us now are our own, and the moment we live in now is something of our life, but we should know the fact that nothing is yours, not even your own family. The only thing you can call yours is you; nothing is permanent is what the lines refer to. The third sentence is "Where you are is where you are not," which means the earth we live on is not the place we actually live, but the place that we should live is heaven, which shows us the spiritual life that we should lead after the life in this world, which shows there is life after death, and that is what life is all about. These three sentences are taken from the poem East Coker by T.S. Eliot, and these three lines will teach the actual meaning of what life is all about. Meet you in the next blog.
