Akha says that when one becomes burdened by superficial matters, they lose the essential foundation of self-knowledge.

Akha says that when we get caught up in superficial matters or try to appear more important than we truly are, we stray from our fundamental self-knowledge. True wisdom isn't about outward show or intellectual pride, but about understanding our core being. He emphasizes that if we prioritize the 'light' or trivial aspects of life, mistakenly considering them 'heavy' or significant, we lose touch with the profound self-awareness that is inherently ours.
