I didn't know that that was the work this quote is from.

I'll check it out.

Thanks.

@ Barbara Is this from Light on the Path? wouldn't it make more sense to find the original in English instead of doing a back translation? Specially if she is being quoted ;-)

can you commence the science of self-knowledge

This seems to be the original quote in English (from Light of the Path per the suggestion in the discussion section): "Learn from sensation and observe it, because only so can you commence the science of self-knowledge, and plant your foot on the first step of the ladder."

I found this at the website below.

I would honestly reword it that way but if you don't agree, then here's my back-up plan:

You can thus begin [to learn] the science of self-knowledge.
