Therefore, be " unattached " ; let things work; let brain centres work;

work incessantly, but let not a ripple conquer the mind. Work as if you

were a stranger in this land, a sojourner; work incessantly, but do not

bind yourselves; bondage is terrible. This world is not our habitation,

it is only one of the many stages through which we are passing.

Remember that great saying of the Sânkhya, " The whole of nature is for

the soul, not the soul for nature. " The very reason of nature's

existence is for the education of the soul; it has no other meaning; it

is there because the soul must have knowledge, and through knowledge

free itself.
