This is the very thing one does not want to seek; one wishes to find anything else but this. And where is it to be found? Not in the knowledge of another person. In the knowing of self. If a person goes through his whole life most cleverly judging others, he may go on, but he will find himself to be more foolish at every step; at the end he reaches the fullness of stupidity. But the one who tries, tests, studies and observes himself, his own attitude in life, his own outlook on life, his thought, speech and action, who weighs and measures and teaches himself self-discipline, it is that person who is able to understand another better. How rarely one sees a soul who concerns himself with himself through life, in order to know! Mostly, every soul seems to be busily occupied with the lives of others. And what do they know in the end? Nothing.
