Innate Wisdom

We are capable of learning and need to be taught. The Universal Intellect is the teacher, and is not in need. 

Mohammed is not called “unlettered” because he was incapable of writing or reading. He is called “unlettered” because with him writing and wisdom were innate, not taught.
He who inscribes characters on the face of the moon, is such a man not able to write? And what is there in all the world that he does not know, seeing that all people learn from him?
What can the partial intellect know that the Universal Intellect does not possess?
The fact that we compose books and create buildings is nothing new. We have seen this done before, and we merely add to what we have already seen.
But those who bring into this world something new of their own account, they are the Universal Intellect. 
We are capable of learning and need to be taught. The Universal Intellect is the teacher, and is not in need.
So, if we investigate all trades, at the root and origin of them all is revelation.
We have learned everything from the prophets and the Universal Intellect.
