A Free Mind Has Humility Have you ever gone into the question of psychological dependence ? If you go into it very deeply , you will find that most of us are terribly lonely . Most of us have such shallow , empty minds . Most of us do not know what love means . So , out of that loneliness , out of that insufficiency , out of the privation of life , we are attached to something , attached to the family ; we depend upon it . And when the wife or the husband turn away from us , we are jealous . Jealousy is not love ; but the love which society acknowledges in the family is made respectable . That is another form of defense , another form of escape from ourselves . So every form of resistance breeds dependence . And a mind that is dependence can never be free . You need to be free , because you will see that a mind that is free has the essence of humility . Such a mind , which is free and therefore has humility , can learn---not a mind that resists . Learning is an extraordinary thing---to learn , not to accumulate knowledge , Accumulating knowledge is quite a different thing . What we call knowledge is comparatively easy , because that is a movement from the known to the known . But to learn is a movement from the known to the unknown---you learn only like that , do you not ?
