Advanced Course in Yogi Philosophy and Oriental Occultism

by Yogi Ramacharaka

13. “Desire power ardently.” 14. “Desire peace fervently.” 15. “Desire possession above all.” 16. “But those possessions must belong to the pure soul only, and be possessed therefore by all pure souls equally, and thus be the especial property of the whole only when united. Hunger for such possessions can be held by the pure soul, that you may accumulate wealth for that united spirit of life which is your only true self. The peace you shall desire is that sacred peace which nothing can disturb, and in which the soul grows as does the holy flower upon the still lagoons. And that power which the disciple shall covet is that which shall make him appear as nothing in the eyes of men.” 17. “Seek out the way.” 18. “Seek the way by retreating within.” 19. “Seek the way by advancing boldly without.”
