"'Know thyself" was the maxim inscribed on the
pediment of the temple at Delphi. What is this 'self'
that we have to know? Is it a question of knowing our
own vices and virtues, our strengths and weaknesses?
No: to know oneself is to know the different
bodies (the physical, etheric, mental, causal, buddhic
and atmic bodies) of which we are formed and what
each of these bodies needs. If the initiates of old
insisted so much on the necessity of self-knowledge
it was because this knowledge opens up tremendous
possibilities for growth, progress and success. As
long as man is ignorant of the needs of his higher
self, he will continue to surfeit his physical body while
his soul and spirit suffocate and die of hunger and
thirst.'
