Every statement, whether secular or religious, has only one true meaning or interpretation. However, people often generate multiple interpretations of the same statement, whether it is a state law, international law, or religious doctrine. This happens because they either lack the proper context and background or let their biases cloud their judgment.

Consider a statement as a multifaceted gem. When light hits the gem, it refracts into various colors depending on the angle from which it is viewed. Similarly, the interpretation of a statement depends on the perspective of the listener. An objective listener, like a skilled gem cutter, can discern the true brilliance of the gem, while someone clouded by bias may only see a distorted reflection.

Imagine understanding as a garden. An objective mind is like fertile soil, ready to nurture seeds of knowledge into blooming flowers of wisdom. However, a mind cluttered with biases and prejudices is like rocky, barren land where seeds struggle to take root and grow.

Think of intellect as a muscle. Just as physical strength is built through consistent training and exercise, intellectual strength is developed through disciplined thought and analysis. Without this training, the mind remains weak and easily swayed by falsehoods.

Envision opportunities for understanding as doors. Each correct interpretation of a statement opens a door to greater wisdom and personal growth. Failing to understand is like leaving these doors closed, missing out on the vast rooms of knowledge and potential beyond.

By freeing ourself from arrogance, bias, and hatred, we become like a clear, calm lake, reflecting the true nature of the sky above. In this state, we can perceive things as they are, without the distortions caused by turbulent emotions. Train yourself in this way, and we will become a person of profound understanding, navigating through life with clarity and insight. Misinterpreting a statement is a missed opportunity.

Those burdened with biases and prejudices become so argumentative that they reject the truth even when it is clearly presented to them, as if a veil covers their hearts and deafness blocks their ears, preventing them from comprehending a statement, whether secular or religious.
