Pearl of Wisdom
'Knowledge is not acquired through learning. Rather it is a light that illuminates in the heart of one who wants Allah, Blessed and most High, to guide him. So if you want knowledge, first seek out within yourself true servitude [to Allah], and seek knowledge according to its use, and ask Allah to make you understand, and He will make you understand.'
Imam Ja'far ibn Muhammad al-Sadiq [as] Bihar al-Anwar, v. 1, p. 225, no. 17
