Kaushitaki Upanishad 1.2
beginner
तं ह पुत्रमुवाच श्वेतकेतुं गच्छ याजयेति।

taṃ ha putramuvāca śvetaketuṃ gaccha yājayeti |

"Aruni sent his son Shvetaketu, saying: "Go, you conduct the sacrifice.""

What This Means:

Aruni sent his learned son Shvetaketu to perform the priestly duties in his place.

Going Deeper:

Shvetaketu is the same student from the Chandogya Upanishad who received the "Tat Tvam Asi" teaching. Here we see him as a young priest, not yet humbled.

How To Apply This:

Sometimes we must be put in situations that reveal the limits of our knowledge.
