A Quote by G. I. Gurdjieff on realization, necessity, self-change, observing oneself, self-observation, inner processes, instrument, and awakening

Self-observation brings man to the realization of the necessity of self-change. And in observing himself a man notices that self-observation itself brings about certain changes in his inner processes. He begins to understand that self-observation is an instrument of self-change, a means of awakening.
