‎"WHY ARE  YOU  ALWAYS  LOOKING  OUTSIDE  FOR  KNOWING  YOURSELF ?"

[ Re-posting for consideration and with a request for improvement ]


1. Who is the closest to you ?

Perhaps none other than you as "you are that only".



2. Which is the next closest to you ?

Perhaps none other than your body, emotions, pains, pleasures etc..



3. Do you require outer help in knowing your body, feelings, emotions, pleasures, pain, etc ?

Perhaps - NO


4. Is it not true that you perceive/experience/know all the components of existence with the help of your sense organs ?

Perhaps - YES


5. Do you need outer help in perceiving/experiencing/knowing these components of existence ?

Perhaps - NO


6. Then can it not be inferred that to know/experience/perceive something which is at a distance from you (there is a gap between the subject and the object) you don't require any outside help ?


7. In my opinion "for knowing something (including your body) which is at a distance/away from you , the requirement of someone's (including your own sense organs) help makes some sense. Is it not true ?


8. "If you don't require any outside help to know all the things which are "away/at a distance" from you, why do you require any help from anyone in knowing "you" ? Does it make any sense in asking for any outside help in knowing "yourself" when there is no distance/gap between the subject (you) and object (you) ?


9. But the tragedy is that you are always badly seeking some outside help when in fact no help is needed/required at all.
