Daniel 2:30 · World English Bible
But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but to the intent that the interpretation may be made known to the king, and that you may know the thoughts of your heart.
This is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have. When true insight comes, it does not arise from the personal self, from the accumulated knowledge the ego is so proud of.
From the Ego v. Being reading below.
The same verse, read by one tradition.
EGO & BEING
This is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have. When true insight comes, it does not arise from the personal self, from the accumulated knowledge the ego is so proud of. It comes from a deeper stillness, and the one through whom it flows knows that he is not its author.
The wise take no credit, because they see that the small self was never the source. And what such insight finally offers is not clever answers but this: that you might know the thoughts of your own heart. To become aware of what moves quietly within you, the fears and longings beneath your thinking, is the beginning of real freedom.
Ego v. Being lens
What is moving underneath my reactions today that I have not stopped to look at?
The sage does the work and does not claim it, and because nothing is claimed, nothing is lost. Credit is the part that never belonged to anyone.
The good answer arrives before the clever mind can assemble it. The teacher is only the window the light came through.
He kept turning his attention inward to see what was really driving him. Knowing your own impulses, he said, is where any honest life begins.
