The acme of freedom from wealth is to desire to be possessionless even as others desire to possess.

The acme of faith is... immersion of the mind in God.

This purity is attained through conquering the passions.

Grieve only if you have committed a sin, but even in this case do not grieve too much, otherwise you may become desperate.

If you want to conquer anger, develop meekness and generosity.

The acme of love is to enhance your friendly attitude to those who insult and revile you.

Those who are not capable of sinning are said that they have attained freedom. The knowledge of the Truth raises them even more. This makes them both free and above this world. But only Love creates. He who became free thanks to knowledge, because of Love remains a slave of those who have not managed to attain the Freedom of knowledge yet. He brings the knowledge to them and this develops the latter because it calls them to the Freedom. Love takes nothing: how can it take something? Everything belongs to it. It does not say, "This is mine! And this is mine!" But it says: "This is yours!"
