In the state of Sattva we see the very nature of things, we go beyond

the senses and beyond reason. The adamantine wall that shuts us in is

egoism; we refer everything to ourselves, thinking. " I do this, that,

and the other. " Get rid of this puny " I " ; kill this diabolism in us;

" Not I, but Thou " — say it, feel it, live it. Until we give up the

world manufactured by the ego, never can we enter the kingdom of

heaven. None ever did, none ever will.
