The Disease of Knowing
"The best part of knowledge is (conscious) ignorance. The disease of ignorance is (the conceit of) knowledge. If one only takes this disease for what it is, a disease, he will thereby be free from it. The sage has not this disease, because he takes it for what it is, and straight-way he is free from it."
