Not only a truer knowledge, but a greater power comes to one in the quietude and silence of a mind that, instead of bubbling on the surface, can go to its own depths and listen.

Even in rags I am a god,fallen I am divine,high I triumph when down-trod,long I live when slain!

What comes from outside, one mistakes it as coming from inside. So many thoughts etc. move about outside in the universal - these manifest inside you. All these you must push away as foreign to you and the inside must be made peaceful, calm and quiet; then it will start descending from above.

Peace is the first condition, without which nothing else can be stable.

With which part do you watch? Surely with the mind? That won't do. It is the silent Purusha within who must watch all.

Do not be eager for things above.

Perfect health, sincerity, honesty, straightforwardness, courage, disinterestedness, unselfishness, patience, endurance, perseverance, peace, calm, self control are all things that are taught infinitely better by example than by beautiful speeches.
