The Quest Not Only Begins

He Is Beginning To Master Wisdom When He Tries To Learn How Not To Try.

Such Excessive Preoccupation With His Faults Is Not A Truly Spiritual Activity But, On The Contrary, A Highly Egoistic One.the Recognition Of His Own Faults Should Make A Man Humbler, When It Is Beneficial, Not Prouder, Which The Thought That He Ought To Have Been Above These Faults Makes Him.

Every Discussion Which Is Made From An Egoistic Standpoint Is Corrupted From The Start And Cannot Yield An Absolutely Sure Conclusion. The Ego Puts Its Own Interest First And Twists Every Argument, Word, Even Fact To Suit That Interest.

Solitude Is Strength; To Depend On The Presence Of The Crowd Is Weakness. The Man Who Needs A Mob To Nerve Him Is Much More Alone Than He Imagines.

When Spiritual Seeking Becomes Too Complicated, Its Exercies Too Elaborated, Its Doctrines Too Esoteric, It Becomes Also Too Artificial And The Resulting Achievements Too Fabricated. It Is The Beginners And Intermediates Who Carry This Heavy And Unnecessary Burden, Who Involve Themselves To The Point Of Becoming Neurotics.
