quote-

Man does not know his body, he does not know his emotions, he does not know how his mind works. He is driven by his senses. He doesn’t know what touch, smell, sight, and hearing are. He takes it all for granted. He does not know himself! So it’s been said in serious circles more than once: ’To Know Thy Self is to Know Thy Lord’. Whatever that means, it’s a lot! Among other things God is supposed to be Peace, Truth. To know Thy ’Self’ is to know Truth, is to know Peace. And that is exactly, of course, what we are missing and why we are grabbing at and trying to explain the outer world all the time. But we’re not even doing that. All these impressions hit us, without our attention, and turn us around! They also cause the machine to compulsively mouth-words. To observe in a non-critical, non-identified manner or to ’talk’ are two quite different things!
