On the self.
<br /><br />
<br />
AND a man said, Speak to us of Self-Knowledge.<br />
And he answered, saying:<br />
Your hearts know in silence the secrets of the days and the nights.<br />
But your ears thirst for the sound of your heart’s knowledge.<br />
You would know in words that which you have always known in<br />
thought.<br />
You would touch with your fingers the naked body of your dreams.<br />
And it is well you should.<br />
The hidden well-spring of your soul must needs rise and run<br />
murmuring to the sea;<br />
And the treasure of your infinite depths would be revealed to your<br />
eyes.<br />
But let there be no scales to weigh your unknown treasure;<br />
And seek not the depths of your knowledge with staff or sounding<br />
line.<br />
For self is a sea boundless and measureless.<br />
Say not, “I have found the truth,†but rather, “I have found a truth.â€<br />
Say not, “I have found the path of the soul.†Say rather, “I have met<br />
the soul walking upon my path.â€<br />
For the soul walks upon all paths.<br />
The soul walks not upon a line, neither does it grow like a reed.<br />
The soul unfolds itself, like a lotus of countless petals.
