It is necessary that we go into ourselves every day to reestablish the connection with the self.²¹⁰

Through constant outward living we lose the self and through this we also become secretly selfish in our best endeavors.

What we neglect in ourselves blends itself secretly into our actions toward others.

Through uniting with the self we reach the God, who unites heaven and hell in himself.

The self is not God, although we reach the God through the self.

The God has the power, not the self.

Powerlessness should thus not be deplored, rather it is the condition that should abide.

The God acts from within himself.

This should be left to him.

What we do to the self, we do to the God.

If we twist the self, we also twist the God.

It is divine service to serve oneself.

We thus relieve humanity of ourselves.

“Bear ye one another’s burdens” has turned into immorality.

May each carry his own burden; that is the least that one can demand anyone to do.

We can at best show another how to carry his own load.

To give all one’s goods to the poor means to educate them to become idle.

Pity should not carry another’s load, but it should be a strict educator instead.

Solitude with ourselves has no end.

It has only just begun
