Attempt to Learn
English book, p. 241
By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
Attempt to Learn inquiry is extremely important. The pursuit of knowledge starts with recognizing one’s own ignorance. Someone who admits they lack knowledge keeps trying to learn more and approaches everything with curiosity. Conversely, a person unaware of their ignorance remains stuck in it and fails to turn their lack of knowledge into learning. All scientific discoveries stem from the spirit of inquiry. The extensive knowledge we’ve gained about the universe and nature in modern times is thanks to this spirit. These aspects of the universe have existed for millions of years, but ancient humans accepted everything without questioning. This lack of curiosity limited their understanding of cosmic mysteries. Today, due to various factors, humans strive to understand the essence of everything. This effort is called the spirit of inquiry, and it is this very spirit that has led humanity to all our current discoveries. No matter what level of progress a person aims to reach, the spirit of inquiry is extremely important for this goal. The more this spirit is awakened within someone, the more they will expand their knowledge, and the greater their progress will be. The present era is called the “Age of Information.” In this age, the amount of information has become extremely vast. Because of this, a spirit of inquiry is more important than ever. In the past, a person could learn a lot with little effort; now, even with a lot of effort, they can only achieve a small part. Therefore, gaining more knowledge has become more vital than ever. Major progress today depends heavily on having enough information.
