Know thyself

If I ask you, 'who are you'? 

What will you answer? 

- You'll probably reply with your name, your position. 

Do you really know who are you?? Think for a second. 

In the process of life when we are obliged to cover huge syllabus of the text books, gaining knowledge of literally everything from politics to world affair. We forget to know the most important thing. That is our true self. 

The most challenging task is to know yourself, and its not a one time act but continuous process of understanding your self, your actions and reactions. 

From Bible to Geeta, it is mention in it, that the greatest human is the one who understand and know himself. 

Everything become easy when you know yourself completely. 

When you have clear vision of the relationship you are having with yourself, you can excel in any relation around you. 

There is a concept in psychology of 'oneness'. It provide ways to imagine and achieve a more expansive conception of the self as fundamentally connected with other people. This concept explain that all other people are the different versions of yourself only. 

So again to understand others, we First need to understand ourselves. 

The more it sound easy, the more it is difficult. 

Most of you ,may be thinking that, you know yourself completely, but let me give a new perspective, as we know things around us is constantly changing, it is changing inside us also. As I mentioned its not the one time act but the continuous process. 

But how to know ourselves? 

Every new situation and every new person you met, comes with the oportunity to know yourself. In any type of relation with others we get a chance to know ourselves, how we are with others, how reacted to the situation happened. 

By keeping eye on our every action and reaction. 

If every night before sleeping if you develop a habit of asking yourself, why did you react like to certain situation, why you were feeling like that. 

You will slowly able to recognize patterns, in your actions and reactions. In your thoughts. And then you'll definitely find a link between your certain action and a thought behind that. 

If you succeed in knowing yourself, please do not label it. As this is I am, and I act like this only. 

Be flexible to the situations. And have the constant urge to become better in reacting. 

Because this life is not a journey from birth to death but, its the journey from self to self!
