What it means practically to cultivate and maintain, writes the author, is that our task as humans is not either to act or allow, rather it is “to work, and to allow growth; to think, and to await the growth and ripening of thought…to will and to dare…to know and to be silent” (2002, italics are mine).

The goal is to decentralize your own knowledge and experiences. Spread your ideas around the world, let them hit the world, let them to transform and evolute, while transforming the world too. An idea that only remains within you is destined to die, an idea that breaks the barriers of the self will live in each person this idea reaches and in each new idea that is born from its inspiration. Give away your ideas, share your ideas, love your ideas, don't let them die.
