It is a primitive understanding, when we say that God wishes to be known, to see an expression of a capricious and self-centered mind. (« The king likes to be worshipped »),
The exercise of inner reading to which the practice of sitting invites teaches that in reality nothing other than this is said: man gains access to the knowledge of his true nature.
This true nature emerges in him, this is what it is called to do, to unfold, to fill the whole man, that he lives only for it and is no longer lost in the spaces where he still retains, through attachment, ignorance, these deployments.
It is not a question of two teachings.
Only the distance from inner reading can make one think so.

« Know thyself » was, reputedly, a maxim written on the Temple of Apollo at Delphi.

Modern Greek, as I would phrase it: Να γνωρίσεις τον εαυτόν σου.
Ancient: Γνῶθι σεαυτόν
