Quote by George Gurdjieff
Without self knowledge, without understanding the working and functions of his machine, man cannot be free, he cannot govern himself and he will always remain a slave.
Summary
This quote suggests that self-knowledge and understanding of our own thoughts, emotions, and behavior are crucial for true freedom and self-governance. If one lacks awareness of their own internal workings, they become susceptible to external influences and control, essentially becoming a "slave" to their circumstances and impulses. By gaining insight into ourselves, we can make conscious choices and take control of our lives, enabling us to live freely and independently.
