Should the wise ask the far-off or the ignorant ask the wise? Truly the mortal does not call; he did not hear.

📖 Book ReferenceWisdomLibRig Veda English TranslationSource ↗

Thus may an ignorant man inquire the means of worshipping the all-wise, for every (one) other (than the Aśvins) is unknowing; they, the unconquered, quickly(show favour) to the man (who worships them).

📖 Book ReferenceRalph T.H. GriffithThe Rig Veda, 1896Source ↗
