If the ignorant man does not inquire;  his ignorance will stay with him. But if he has a questioning mind, some  knowledgeable person will answer him, and he will no longer remain  ignorant. There is a saying in Arabic to the same effect: To know that you do not  know is half the knowledge itself. If an ignorant person is not aware of his  ignorance, he will continue to remain in the same state. But when he  becomes aware of his ignorance, he sets about seeking for knowledge. He will try to turn his ignorance into knowledge. In this way his  awareness of his ignorance will become the stepping stone leading  towards full and comprehensive knowledge. This is called, in present-day speech, "the spirit of inquiry", and is  given extensive importance. It is this spirit of inquiry which has played the  greatest role in bringing about the age of science. It is the zeal to  discover which has led humankind to knowledge. In ancient times the phenomena of nature were  considered to be manifestations of God. The sight of the manifestations  of nature, therefore, aroused in man the spirit of worship. It was only  when these natural phenomena were divested of their divinity that the  spirit of inquiry could be aroused in man. As a result, many of the  mysteries of; nature now lie unraveled. An inquisitive mind is an absolutely essential element for the  acquisition of knowledge. Only those who are possessed of this quality  will achieve great success in intellectual and academic fields. Those  devoid of this spirit will remain static, and will fall short in  reaching their fullest potential.It is this spirit which is the foundation of all progress. [/FONT]</blockquote>
