The discrimination (viveka) of Teh

"He who understandeth others understandeth Two; but he who understandeth himself understandeth One. He who conquereth others is strong; but he who conquereth himself is stronger yet. Contentment is riches; and continuous action is Will. He that adapteth himself perfectly to his environment, continueth for long; he who dieth without dying, liveth for ever."
