What we cannot think we cannot think, therefore we also cannot say what we cannot think. Is it possible a lower being can understand a higher being? Can a part understand a whole? Can a monkey understand a human? Can a monkey "know" that it cannot be a human, no matter how much it tries to ape its owner?
When a stupid human fancies that she is not stupid, that she is capable of self-understanding and self-reflection, that she is smarter than she actually is, can she ever grow? When a stupid human parrot the words of a wise human, that does not mean the stupid human understands those words. You must live those words, must have the necessary experiences from where the words come in order that you are able to understand them. Thus, all truths are private and personal.
