River within us
 We grow in self awareness not only by introspection but by tackling the jobs that lie to hand, by measuring our strength and skill against taxing work and difficult people. In the middle and later life after the heat of the struggle to succeed is over and such measure of success as we have attained has lost all its novelty and most of its charm, then especially we are ready to devote energy to the task of gaining deeper self awareness. Until we know ourselves, we cannot really possess ourselves. And until we possess ourselves and have the inner peace that comes from self-possession, we shall find it impossible to relate to other people accept either by trying to possess and dominate them all by letting them possess or dominate us. | |
