"A person engrossed in material goods does not feel the self. He never says: "I am happy. My life is beautiful to me." The self is obscured in it, like a diamond in a discarded ring. So we suffer unwillingly or willingly so that our soul can be purified and strengthened.

""A testi javakba merült ember nem érzi az én-t. Sose mondja: "Én boldog vagyok. Nekem gyönyörűség az életem." Az én el van benne homályosodva, mint a gyémánt a szemétre került gyűrűben. Azért szenvedünk tehát akaratlanul vagy akarva, hogy a lelkünk tisztuljon, erősödjön."
