[HA]: Then On Account Of The Infinitude Of Knowledge, Freed From The Cover Of All Impurities, The Knowables Appear As Few. [IT]: Then, in consequence of the removal of all obscuration and impurities, that which can be known (through the mind) is but little in comparison with the infinity of knowledge (obtained in Enlightenment). [VH]: [BM]: [SS]: Then all the coverings and impurities of knowledge are totally removed. Because of the infinity of this knowledge, what remains to be known is almost nothing. [SP]: [30] Then the whole universe, with all its objects of sense-knowledge, becomes as nothing in comparison to that infinite knowledge which is free from all obstructions and impurities. [SV]: [VN 4.30] Then knowledge, bereft of covering and impurities, becoming infinite, the knowable becomes small. --- In [email protected], "card" <cardemaister@...> wrote: > > > Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. > > - Richard Feynman > >
