Alert immobility, quiet attention

[Guest guest]

Be interested in yourself beyond all experience,

be with yourself, love yourself; the ultimate

security is found only in self-knowledge. The

main thing is earnestness. Be honest with

yourself and nothing will betray you. Virtues

and powers are mere tokens for children to play

with. They are useful in the world, but do not

take you out of it. To go beyond, you need alert

immobility, quiet attention.
