I met a wise man in India years ago.

I poured out my feelings of what I felt was my neurotic state.

He answered quietly and gently, “There is only one neurosis in man and that is not knowing what we are”.

As we talked I felt my tension and confusion dissolve. I felt the truth of his words. The great fallacy in our lives is that we do not know our true nature, the essence of our being, the true Self.

That is indeed our biggest neurosis.
