You cannot abandon what you do not know

Use your mind. Remember. Observe. You are

not different from others. Most of their

experiences are valid for you too. Think clearly,

deeply, go into the entire structure of your desires

and their ramifications. They are a most important

part of your mental and emotional make-up and

powerfully affect your actions. Remember, you

cannot abandon what you do not know. To go

beyond yourself, you must know yourself.
