Transcript

Friends,

Knowing of and knowing about,

Okay,

The two wills apart,

Right?

Knowledge versus information.

When all PhDs,

We all know all about ourselves,

Right?

We know we've got identity,

We've got a name,

We've got passport,

Passport number,

How much money we got in the bank,

We know everything about ourselves.

In fact,

We are experts in knowing all about ourselves.

But when it comes to knowing who owns identity,

Who owns the passport,

Who owns the money in the bank,

Who owns our lives,

Our existence,

We get nothing,

Zero,

Right?

When all that gets taken away,

Passport,

Identity,

Name,

What are you then?

Who are you then?

Self-knowledge comes in and solves the problem,

Solves the eternal conundrum and puzzle of this I,

Which it has always done.
