He only can know the Highest who surrenders self, Who makes the inward sacrifice complete, Who holds nothing back, Who calls nothing his own, Who refuses to set his heart upon any earthly thing ; Putting aside all his lusts, Emptying himself of all his vanities, Divesting himself of all his theories and opinions, He will become empty, naked, and without possessions ; And having become empty, he will be filled with Truth ; Having become naked, he will be clothed with Righteousness ; Possessing nothing, he will be lord of all.
