Knowledge of Self.

“Knowing others is wisdom. Knowing yourself is Enlightenment.”

~ Lao-Tzu

“In order for one to find God, he must first look inside himself. Through are the key to life, just as a man thinks them. One thought can change the world. So brothers and sisters, don’t let the Devil tell you that you can’t change things, because you can. THe only thing you can’t change is the truth, for the truth is that which in time changes things back to their original state.”

~ RZA

“The knowledge of self is the most important thing, because how are you going to know God if you don’t know yourself? How are you going to know anything if you don’t know yourself?... The word "knowledge" itself, we like to break it down into two different words, "know" and "ledge." You've got to know the ledge. Know the limitation of things. Know where they go, know where they start from. We say knowledge is the basic foundation of the universe. But everything is first based on something being known. Then, when it's known, then it can be manifested."
