- Even a well-known scholar forgets his knowledge when he is fully drunk. Only when he becomes sober, he can recollect his erudition.
- Similarly, we are currently intoxicated with passion, lust, greed, jealousy, hatred, and other delusions that have been caused by ignorance.
- Self-knowledge brings back the sober condition and frees us from the delusion of seeing ourselves as separate from others, which causes constant conflict with the world around us.
- Self-knowledge allows us to see everyone as part of ourselves or as part of God. This knowledge is not limited only to scholars and intelligent seekers.
- Even if one is a sinner or a criminal, having this divine understanding can serve as a means to overcome the ocean of sins.
