I have ceased to question stars and books; I have begun to listen to the teaching my blood whispers to me.

The speaker describes a turning away from external authorities—cosmic “stars” (fate, metaphysics) and “books” (received learning, doctrine)—toward an inward, embodied source of knowledge. “Blood” suggests instinct, temperament, and lived experience: a private, somatic wisdom that cannot be fully captured by systems or texts. The line dramatizes a Hessean motif: the individual’s spiritual maturation requires abandoning secondhand answers and listening to the self’s deepest impulses, even when they conflict with tradition. It also implies a critique of over-intellectualization: understanding arrives not only through inquiry but through attentive receptivity to one’s inner life.
