Accept ourselves as we are, with our faults, weak- nesses and odd tendencies and then we also know ourselves by understanding what it is we are accepting. It is not enough just to accept ourselves. To accept ourselves unconditionally means to know ourselves. Then, as we know ourselves, we see beyond ourselves. We see how we are not limited to this particular egocentric persona that we identify with. We are greater and humbler than that because our true centre is not in ourselves but in God.
