          Γνῶθι σεαυτόν

"Know yourself"; the philosophy
of the divine Greece
culminated in this flower of its teaching,
the rose of knowledge!
"Know yourself", and this self
is found outside myself;
God is within me; God has created me
and it is God who sustains me;
God merges with me, and in my heart
He fills my entire life.
I cannot reach myself without passing through
His divine essence;
When I die my secret will be revealed;
I will know God when I die.

Miguel de Unamuno
