This condition is indeed reached by me - deep, difficult to see, difficult to understand, tranquil, excellent, beyond the reach of mere logic, subtle, and to be realised only by the wise.
I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act; but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act.
There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth...not going all the way, and not starting.
