"No one thing can explain everything; though everything can illuminate something," suggests that understanding comes from multiple sources and perspectives. The complexity of life and knowledge means no single explanation suffices, but each piece can shed light on parts of a greater whole. Similarly, the idea that "God... would be an art" reflects a view of divinity as creative and expressive, akin to sculpture or medicine, emphasizing beauty and functionality in understanding the divine.

Durrell notes that the rapid expansion of knowledge and sciences in modern times overwhelming our capacity to process and utilize this information. The vast amount of new discoveries makes it challenging to assimilate and apply all available knowledge effectively, highlighting the difficulty of integrating the ever-growing wealth of human understanding into our lives.
