Thoughts
The start of stillness is the rejection of all noisiness as something that will trouble the depths of the soul. The final point is when one has no longer a fear of noisy disturbance, when one is immune to it.
He who when he goes out does not go out in his intellect is gentle and wholly a house of love, rarely move to speech and never to anger.
