Interpretation
The line urges intellectual humility: even when we feel certain, we should allow for the possibility that our view is partial or mistaken. In Nehru’s political and moral vocabulary, such humility is tied to democratic habits—listening to opponents, resisting dogmatism, and treating disagreement as a chance to refine one’s understanding rather than to crush an enemy. The quote also reflects a broader ethical stance: truth is complex, and no individual or party has a monopoly on it. Practically, it recommends moderation in judgment and openness to evidence, dialogue, and self-correction.
