The State of Freedom
A journey of Truth into the mind’s sanctuary
with the destination of inner Freedom.
Β4. There is nothing more important for me to do.
The mind now compares the delight and joy obtained by the internal work with the delight and joy obtained by any other pursuit in his leisure time. He concludes that there is nothing better for me to do in my life, nothing more exciting, nothing which could please and fill me more and give me while I do it so warm joy in my heart and leave in me afterwards such a beautiful feeling, as deepening to innate Truth does.
Hence, he chooses to give always priority to this pursuit in his leisure time, as well as to pursuits of comradeship with his brothers, which also give me equal joy, since they funda-mentally are but a form of deepening into the self, during which he consciously retracts lofty kinds of energy such as warmth, care and mercifulness.
