“Self-knowledge is so important that I do not care how high you are raised up to the heavens, I never want you to cease cultivating it. As long as we are on this earth, there is nothing more essential than humility. Enter the room of self-knowledge first, instead of floating off to the other places. This is the path. Travelling along a safe and level road, who needs wings to fly? Let’s make the best possible use of our feet first and learn to know ourselves.”
Teresa of Avila
