KNOW THY SELF

A person who knows not
And knows not that they know not
Is foolish--disregard them

A person who knows not
And knows that they know not
Is simple--teach them

A person who knows not
And believes that they know
Is dangerous--avoid them

A person who knows
And knows not that they know
Is asleep--awake them

A person who knows
And knows that they know
Is wise--follow them

All of these persons reside in you
Know Thy Self
And to Maat be true

* A modern adaptation of an ancient proverb.
