On Learning and Knowledge 1
The Possibility of being an individual comes only when you begin to understand and learn about yourself, not through books, because the self-what you are-cannot be understood through someone else. You have to observe it yourself, and you can observe it with clarity, strength, and you can observe it with clarity, strength, and purposive directiveness only in relationship. The way you behave, the way you talk, how you look at a flower, a tree, the way you speak to people, the movement of your hands, your eyes, everything will show, if you are at all aware, how your mind works, and the mind is the self. It can invent the super-self or it can invent hell-but it is still the mind.
