Seems that purpose of knowing others appear after knowing others, the something which comes after knowing. Separate means two. In another word, unity of being one, being recognition of two as one thing, is the place to be two. At this point the knowing is not guess. It's a clear reality. Discrimination is freedom. Literally, it is work of liberation. Discrimination is, today is different from yesterday. You liberate today from yesterday. That's how really knowing is. So to see is to liberate something, and to know others is to free others from yourself and from everything. In that sense, to be known means to be freed. So knowing others works both ways, to free others and to free yourself.
