If thou seekest to be intoxicated with the cup of the Most
Mighty Gift, cut thyself from the world and be quit of self and
desire. Exert thyself night and day until spiritual powers may
penetrate thy heart and soul. Abandon the body and the material,
until the merciful powers may become manifest; because not until
the soil is become pure will it develop through the heavenly bounty;
not until the heart is purified, will the radiance of the Sun of Truth
shine therein. I beg of God that thou wilt day by day increase
the purity of thy heart, the cheerfulness of thy soul, the light of
thy insight and the search for Truth.
