Don’t
think you can attain
total awareness and whole enlightenment
without proper discipline and practice. This is egomania.
Appropriate rituals channel your emotions and life
energy toward the light. Without the discipline
to practice them, you will tumble
constantly backward into
darkness.

of the subtle truth is gained through
virtuous conduct and sustaining disciplines,
so also is it maintained through these
things. Highly evolved beings
know and respect the
truth of this.
