From the first Chapter:

Knowledge of Self - Knowledge of self is the key to the knowledge of God, according to the saying, ''he who knows himself, knows his Lord,'' and, as it is Written in the Qur'an, ''We will show them Our signs in the world and in themselves, that the truth may be manifest to them.'' Now nothing is nearer to thee than thyself, and if thou knowest not thyself how canst thou know anything else.''
