22nd Pauri of Japji: “Know Thyself”. Know Yourself is a big message of 22nd pauri. We try so hard to know the world, to know others, to know the unknown that we get lost in it. It is only through knowing ourselves we can know everything else. It is through knowing how it feels when somone hurts me that I can feel compassionate for others. It is through knowing how the sun feels on my skin that I can start learning about the power of the sun.It is through knowing my own fear, that I can understand when someone is in fight or flight mode. We are the channels through which we experience the world. There is no other way of knowing it.
