English:
"One cannot control everything with intellect alone; one must also let emotion and intuition do their part. Knowledge means power, and perhaps that's also why I accumulate knowledge, from a desire to prove myself. Actually, I don't know. But God, I prefer that You give me wisdom instead of knowledge, or better: knowledge that leads to wisdom and true happiness, and not knowledge that leads to power."

Third Eye Chakra (Ajna) | ืฆ'ืืงืจืช ื”ืขื™ืŸ ื”ืฉืœื™ืฉื™ืช

Why this hexagram: Hexagram 4 teaches the difference between intellectual knowledge and true wisdom. The student must seek the teacher with humility, opening to intuition and deeper knowing beyond the rational mind.

I Ching Wisdom: "Youthful Folly represents inexperience and the need for education. Like a spring at the foot of a mountain, wisdom must be sought with sincerity. The teacher does not seek the student; the student must seek the teacher."

Spiritual Reflection | ื”ืจื”ื•ืจ ืจื•ื—ื ื™

Etty's prayer reveals a profound spiritual maturity: she recognizes that accumulating knowledge can be an ego-driven quest for power and self-proof. True wisdom, by contrast, comes from surrendering the need to control everything through intellect alone, and opening to emotion, intuition, and divine guidance.
