name signifies their goal in life.). Although the name doesn't signify ‘self’ itself.
How to know myself
1. Philosophy –
a. Ancient philosophy

Pythagoras ada in..
- person=body and soul
- Taught for free and was killed bcoz of it.
ii. Plato (student of socrates)
- Expanded socrates’ studies
- The soul is like a chariot with 2 horses(symbolizes passion and
physical appetite). So if hindi guided, magulo ulo. So we have
reason to guide the horses in a straight path.
- Soul=mind

but with no body
