Chapter 18 self-knowledge

prophet 纪伯伦 316Words 2018-03-20
A man said, please tell us about self-knowledge. He replied: In silence your hearts comprehend the secrets of day and night. Your ears thirst for the knowledge of your hearts. You want to know with words what you have always known with consciousness. You want to touch with your fingers the naked bodies of your dreams. This is exactly what you should do. The inexhaustible fountain hidden deep in your souls does need to spring up, flowing wetly to the sea; The treasures of the infinite depths of your hearts will be revealed before your eyes. But do not weigh in scales riches that you do not know;

Nor measure your knowledge with rods or cords. For the self is a boundless and immeasurable ocean. Don't say "I've found the truth", Instead, say "I have discovered a truth." Don't say "I found the way of the soul", Instead, say "I met the spirit that wandered my path." For the soul walks in all paths. The soul does not move in a straight line, nor does it grow like a reed. The soul stretches and blooms like a lotus with countless petals.
