Mas OyamaAspirations must be pure and free of selfishness. Arising from the depths of the soul, aspirations are spiritual demands penetrating all of a human life and making it possible for a person to die for their sake. A person without aspirations is like a ship without a rudder or a horse without a bridle. Aspirations give consistent order to life.
Mas OyamaReading good books implants good ideas in the mind, develops good aspirations, and leads to the cultivation of good friends.
