Finding your Spiritual Self:
December 8th, 2007
“A most excellent rule to find this spiritual self is the following: Whenever you have impulses to indulge in selfish action, refrain. Whenever you seek purely personal self-advancement, and particularly when others lose by it, then “abhor” the temptation, as Shakespeare says. Ah! This alone is a spiritual exercise which requires a true man’s strength, the willpower and energy of a true man. Weaklings cannot do it although indeed they may dream of doing it, and this dream is a good thing because some day they will pass from dreaming to action.”
