A river does not know it’s power,
The ocean does not know it’s depth,
A mountain does not know it’s height.
Only humans have the knowledge to know this.
But with all this knowledge why is it humans cannot know themselves.
Great post, and thought provoking. I wonder if the quest to know ones self is part of the reason for progress in knowledge and scientific advancement. Some people are content with what they have, others are not. My mom knew herself – I’m still searching.

Do you really believe mountains and oceans don’t know their depth?

It doesn’t mean anything to them to know of their height or depth, they are aware of their magnificent.

Exactly, I think the same. Its not that they don’t know or they do know. They are free and aware beings.
