The real wisdom here isn't about patience or cosmic timing—it's a gentle rebuke of the way we chase knowledge before we're prepared to receive it. A student "ready" means someone who has felt the gap in their understanding sharply enough to actually *change*, not merely someone who wants quick answers. Watch how a parent might finally hear their child's repeated advice about technology only after a personal frustration forces the question; the wisdom existed all along, but the teacher—their own child—could only appear once readiness arrived.
