Why do you need others help ?

Who is the closest to you ? None other than you as you are that only.

Which is the next closest to you ? None other than your body, emotions, pains, pleasures etc..

Do you require anyone's help in knowing your body, feelings, emotions, pleasures, pain, etc ? No.

Do you need anyone's help in knowing (direct perception) the existence as such which is perceivable by sense organs? No.

If you don't require any help from anyone to know all the things which are away from you, why do you require any help from anyone in knowing "you" which is the most closest to you, in fact you are that only ?

Where for knowing something at a distance from you , the requirement of someone's help makes some sense but you don't need it at all.

But on the other hand when the question of knowing yourself which is nothing but you arises and where the requirement of someone's help does not make any sense, you badly need it.
