Humility. Learn all you can, but stay in a place of learning, not in a place of being the guru or the authority. When we get puffed up with knowledge, we lose sight of what really matters, and start to destroy ourselves and others. That is what I think St Anthony is saying here, that if we allow ourselves to become inflated through learning, we lose the love that really matters, and all our efforts will have been in vain in the end, because, in the words of Paul, we become clanging cymbals and banging gongs if we lack love. Keep your love alive, stay focused on that, not on the things you are learning just for the sake of learning things.
Why are you learning?
To lord over someone who has less
knowledge, or to learn how you can love them better?
