In the final conclusion / analysis of over 5,000 years of human shenanigans, the truth is as simple as the two word reply the Jews told God when he asked them if they wish to receive the Torah? – "We shall adhere and then we shall seek to understand" – You see, whenever we humans do things in the reverse, the motivating factor is ego – For if you know God is talking, why wouldn’t you first do?! – The answer is, the ego can receive no pleasure from that which it cannot take credit, and if you cannot understand, then you are not like a mighty warrior, rather like a humble servant – and that’s the whole point!
