Mainyo-i-Khard 53

The sage asked the spirit of wisdom

thus: 'Wherefore is it when an ignorant man-when they bring advancement to him-considers the learning and advancement of the wise and good mostly so, through greediness, that to teach it to him is difficult?'

The spirit of wisdom answered

thus: 'For this reason, because the ignorant man considers, in thought, his own ignorance as good as the sage does, in thought, his own knowledge.'
