6.33 Know Thyself First

Shree Udiyaa Babajee Mahaaraaj was asked by someone : "Mahaaraaj, what is the identity of Ishvara?" Baba - "Do you know your identity?" He - "No, Mahaaraaj" Baba - "You do not know the 'I' residing in this body measuring three and a half length of hands, then trying to know he who lives in millions of universes is foolishness".   That is why first - know thyself. How will you know this? A flame of a lamp is lit by another flame. If you really want to light the flame of knowledge in your heart, then find a knower who has the flame of knowledge in his heart, and place your heart next to his. Do not argue with him. Understand his opinion. Think in that way.
