If you have known yourself, you have known everything else. Know that, by knowing which, you will know everything else.

Our aspirations, our affections, and our desires are turned towards the wrong things. And only when we turn them towards the right things will things get better.
The mind is the instrument, the flywheel, and the thickest comrade of man. Through it, one can ruin oneself or save oneself. Regulated and controlled, channeled properly it can liberate; wayward and let loose, it can entangle and bind fast.
