"<p>What can frighten you when your soul is calm? If you overcome vanity, lust and greed? What powers can torment you if you do not torment yourself? What is prison if your soul is free? What is death, if you have known the world and your soul, and do not long for superfluous and embarrassing details? Truly, you were like the child who is unhappy because he did not get this or that. Think always of this: "I have neither power nor wealth, perhaps not even health. But how mighty I am, how rich, how superior, for I have adjusted my desires to the truth and reality of things, and my soul is free!" No one can take this from you, no one can give more than this.</p>"
