Give yourself to Knowledge today by undertaking today’s practice with true commitment and dedication, letting no false or self-limiting ideas interfere with your genuine pursuit. In this way, you give yourself to Knowledge by allowing Knowledge to give itself to you. How small, then, is that which is asked of you and how great is your reward. For every moment you spend in experiencing stillness or engaging your mind meaningfully, Knowledge becomes stronger and ever more present within you. You may wonder, “What is my gift to the world?” Your gift is what you receive here today. Give yourself to Knowledge so that it may give itself to you.

Remember today’s idea upon the hour and enter into Knowledge in your two deeper practice periods. Throughout all of your practices today, demonstrate your intention to give yourself to Knowledge, which will require stillness and self-acceptance.

## Practice 217

Two 30-minute practice periods. Hourly practice.
