FIRST
THING
THE
You have been told
that it is important to know the first thing. I want here to point
out why it is so important and what you have when you know the first
thing. You will surely appreciate the fact that life works this way.
All the clergy would resign today if they knew the first thing. All
politicians would blush and resign as well if they only knew the
first thing. Anyone who considers himself or herself to be a
professional this or that would quit immediately, pick out an
instrument, and go on the road if they knew the first thing. Every
general in every army in the world would toss off his uniform and run
to sign up for dance lessons if he knew the first thing. All the
teachers would excuse the students from attendance in class and
promise each student an A if they knew the first thing. We would all
fall in love if we knew the first thing.
When you know the
first thing...actually know
it, it is the same as knowing everything. Why? It is the nature of
the first thing that it includes all things. It is universal. The
moment one knows, “I know the first thing”, one will realize, My
God, I know it all! I know it all! I know it all!
