to eat may bring your body the substance it needs to serve as a
solid basis for your effort towards the great discovery, and give it
the energy for persistence and perseverance in the effort.
Before you go to sleep, concentrate a few seconds in the aspi-
ration that the sleep may restore your fatigued nerves, bring calm
and quietness to your brain so that on waking you may, with re-
newed vigour, begin again your journey on the path of the great
discovery.
Before you act, concentrate in the will that your action may
help or at least in no way hinder your march forward towards the
great discovery.
When you speak, before the words come out of your mouth,
concentrate just long enough to check your words and allow only
those that are absolutely necessary to pass, only those that are
not in any way harmful to your progress on the path of the great
discovery.
To sum up, never forget the purpose and goal of your life.
The will for the great discovery should be always there above you,
above what you do and what you are, like a huge bird of light
dominating all the movements of your being.
Before the untiring persistence of your effort, an inner door
will suddenly open and you will emerge into a dazzling splendour
that will bring you the certitude of immortality, the concrete experi-
ence that you have always lived and always shall live, that external
forms alone perish and that these forms are, in relation to what you
are in reality, like clothes that are thrown away when worn out. Then
you will stand erect, freed from all chains, and instead of advancing
laboriously under the weight of circumstances imposed upon you
by Nature, which you had to endure and bear if you did not want to
be crushed by them, you will be able to walk on, straight and firm,
conscious of your destiny, master of your life.
