And the man said 
"Speak to us of self-knowledge"
And he answered;

Your hearts know in silence
The secrets of the days and the nights, but your ears thirst for the
Sound of your hearts knowledge

You would know in words that which you have always known in thought

You would touch with your fingers the naked body of your dreams and it is well 
that you should !

The hidden well spring of your soul
Must needs rise and run murmuring to the sea and the treasure of your infinate 
depths would be revealed to your eyes but let there be no scales to weigh your 
unknown treasure and seek not the depths of your knowledge with staff or 
sounding line for self is a seed boundless and measureless.

Say not I have found the truth but rather I have found a truth

Say not I have found the path of the soul say rather, I have met the soul 
walking upon my path

For the soul walks upon all paths, the soul walks not upon a line, neither does 
it grow like a reed,
The soul unfolds itself like a lotus of countless petals...

....The prophet Kahill Gibran
