Your Definition
To MEASURE, is to compare (what you know) to (what you want to know). You need to know something first in order to compare it with something else. The only thing you can know first had is yourself. This is why they say to "know yourself" so you can measure / compare the rest of reality and make good choices on a conscious level. You are the literal "ruler" by which everything else you learn is measured with.
