Speaker discusses the concept of "the knowledge of self" as a foundation for one's understanding of oneself. This knowledge is crucial to one's understanding of one's oneself and the way they act. It is also the topic of psychology or pseudo spirituality, where individuals can benefit from it. The concept of "the five most fundamental questions of all" is the main focus for those who want to have real knowledge of their oneself.

This principle from that statement that whoever knows

00:00:03 --> 00:00:04

his self knows his lord,

00:00:05 --> 00:00:08

it tells you about how important the knowledge

00:00:08 --> 00:00:08

of self is.

00:00:09 --> 00:00:11

The knowledge of self

00:00:11 --> 00:00:13

at the most fundamental

00:00:14 --> 00:00:15

level of the human being

00:00:16 --> 00:00:17

is foundation.

00:00:18 --> 00:00:21

It's as foundational as foundational can be.

00:00:21 --> 00:00:24

And then from there, when you understand this

00:00:24 --> 00:00:25

in the religious context,

00:00:25 --> 00:00:26

it includes

00:00:27 --> 00:00:29

much of these other discussions that we put

00:00:29 --> 00:00:31

in the category of psychology or even pseudo

00:00:31 --> 00:00:32

spirituality.

00:00:33 --> 00:00:35

Some of which that we can benefit from.

00:00:35 --> 00:00:37

But we have to take from those things

00:00:37 --> 00:00:40

and then to add those to what already

00:00:40 --> 00:00:43

we have is that religious conception. So we

00:00:43 --> 00:00:46

will, if we're going to have real knowledge

00:00:46 --> 00:00:48

of of the self, there are a few

00:00:48 --> 00:00:50

questions that need to be answered.

00:00:50 --> 00:00:52

And that these the few of them are

00:00:52 --> 00:00:55

what are considered to be the questions of

00:00:55 --> 00:00:55

ultimate

00:00:56 --> 00:00:56

concern.

00:00:57 --> 00:00:58

The questions

00:00:58 --> 00:01:00

of ultimate concern.

00:01:01 --> 00:01:02

And they are questions like,

00:01:02 --> 00:01:05

what are we in our self?

00:01:07 --> 00:01:08

Where did we come from?

00:01:09 --> 00:01:10

Where are we going?

00:01:10 --> 00:01:12

What is the purpose of life?

00:01:13 --> 00:01:15

What is real happiness

00:01:16 --> 00:01:17

and misery?

00:01:19 --> 00:01:21

These are the 5 most fundamental questions of

00:01:21 --> 00:01:22

all.
