Four Spiritual Disciplines…

*

The first is practised by those who,

perceiving that the ego is insubstantial

and the body is a transient shadow

take the start from these ideas and proceed

until they reach the cessation of all thought.

*

The second is practised by those who have gone beyound

the egolessness of things, beyond individuality and generality,

beyond the ideas of ‘self’, ‘other’ and ‘both’ in order to contemplate

the necessity of the Endless Round.

*

The third is practised by those who realise

that the discrimination between the two forms

of egolessness is an illusion and establishing themselves

in this reality experience no discrimination.

*

The fourth practises the accomplishment

of incomprehensible things.
