Self-Knowledge
Self-knowledge is happiness.
It’s really that simple.
Self-knowledge exists beyond the pains, fears,
Passions, loves, hates, depressions, triumphs,
Defeats and other ranges of human experience.
It is like an oasis in the midst of a desert;
The hot pains of life’s journey are quickly
Forgotten amid the life-quenching happiness
That you find there.
As long as you abide in self-knowledge you will be
Sheltered from the hot burning pains of life;
But if you leave self-knowledge you will
Become a desert traveler again,
Joining a caravan that journeys through the
Intense heat, cold, pleasure and pain of
Life’s experiences -- until one day,
Your caravan will find the oasis of
Self-knowledge again.
