If you are not aware of your true essence,
All information is only a jail
That confines and controls life.

So far, we have made a lot of systems for convenience and welfare.
But as the systems developed,
We became used to them and
Adjusted ourselves to them.

Systems and experts can help us.
Technology can enrich our life and make it easier.
But they can also make us complacent,
And we forget to pay attention to
Who we really are.

For it is only by looking inside
And asking ourselves
That we can find the real answers
To the important and precious questions of our lives.

Knowledge and systems
Are mere clues to the vibrant life within,
And the power to put your knowledge into action.
