Commentary for:
Wisdom can only be learned gradually, and every soul is not ready to receive or to understand the complexity of the purpose of life.

By "soul" here, really "mind" is meant. Mind learns by a series of steps and stages, while heart learns at a single glance. Thus while some teach evolution and others revolution, while some teach gradual progress and others propound suddenness, there is truth in both. In the case of gradual progress soul is identified with mind, in the case of suddenness of realization with heart. Actually soul is neither mind nor heart, but in speaking of wisdom we refer to those vehicles. Wisdom is life itself reflected in the individual being.
