From Passion to Peace

Transcendence is not an abnormal condition; it belongs to the orderly process of evolution; and though, as yet, few have reached it, all will come into it in the course of the ages. And he who ascends into it, sins no more, sorrows no more, and is no more troubled; good are his thoughts, good are his actions, and good is the tranquil tenor of his way. He has conquered self, and has submitted to truth; he has mastered evil, and has comprehended good. Henceforth nor men nor books can instruct him, for he is instructed by the Supreme Good, even the spirit of truth.
