To give up the world is to forget the ego, to know it not at all - living in the body, but not of it.
Holy meditation helps to burn out all mental impurities.
No effect of work can be eternal.
The greatest sin is to think yourself weak
It is always for greater joy that you give up the lesser. This is practical religion-the attainment of freedom, renunciation. Renounce the lower so that you may get the higher. Renounce! Renounce! Sacrifice! Give up! Not for zero. Not for nothing. But to get the higher.
He who always thinks himself as weak will never become strong, but he who knows himself to be a lion, rushes out from the worlds meshes, as a lion from its cage.
