“Seek not to understand that you may believe, but believe that you may understand”
— Saint Augustine

Simplified Meaning:
Trusting first can help you understand things better later. Think about when you're learning something new, like riding a bike. If you believe it'll work and try it, you'll eventually get the hang of it. But if you wait to understand every detail before trying, you might never start. This idea also works with trust in people or concepts. Sometimes, having faith or belief in something or someone can lead you to deeper insights and understanding. Just like trusting that a recipe will work by following it step-by-step, and then understanding why and how it works, the same applies here. By believing first, you open yourself up to experiences that help you learn and grow.
