Transcending our own Views
If
we take something to be the truth, we may cling to it so much that even
if the truth comes and knocks at our door, we won't want to let it in.
We have to be able to transcend our previous knowledge the way we climb
up a ladder. If we are on the fifth rung and think that we are very
high, there is no hope for us to step up to the sixth. We must learn to
transcend our own views.
