34. Or peace may be reached by the even sending forth and control of the life breath. SUTRA THIRTY FOUR OR PEACE MAY BE REACHED BY THE EVEN SENDING FORTH AND CONTROL OF THE LIFE BREATH
e here told, by steady application to a principle. The principle to which we should thus steadily apply ourselves should be one arising from the reality of spiritual life; valorous work for the soul, in others as in ourselves. 33. By sympathy with the happy, compassion for the sorrowful, delight in the holy, disregard of the unholy, the psychic nature moves to gracious peace. When we are wrapped up in ourselves, shrouded with the cloak of our egotism, absorbed in our pains and bitter thoughts, we are not willing to disturb or strain our own sickly mood by giving kindly sympathy to the happy, thus doubling their joy, or by showing compassion for the sad, thus halving their sorrow. We refuse to find delight in holy things, and let the mind brood in sad pessimism on unholy things. All these evil psychic moods must be conquered by strong effort of will. This rending of the veils will reveal to us something of the grace and peace which are of the interior consciousness of the spiritual man.  WE ARE HERE TOLD BY STEADY APPLICATION TO A PRINCIPLE THE PRINCIPLE TO WHICH WE SHOULD THUS STEADILY APPLY OURSELVES SHOULD BE ONE ARISING FROM THE REALITY OF SPIRITUAL LIFE VALOROUS WORK FOR THE SOUL IN OTHERS AS IN OURSELVES SUTRA THIRTY THREE BY SYMPATHY WITH THE HAPPY COMPASSION FOR THE SORROWFUL DELIGHT IN THE HOLY DISREGARD OF THE UNHOLY THE PSYCHIC NATURE MOVES TO GRACIOUS PEACE WHEN WE ARE WRAPPED UP IN OURSELVES SHROUDED WITH THE CLOAK OF OUR EGOTISM ABSORBED IN OUR PAINS AND BITTER THOUGHTS WE ARE NOT WILLING TO DISTURB OUR STRAIN OUR OWN SICKLY MOOD BY GIVING KINDLY SYMPATHY TO THE HAPPY THUS DOUBLING THEIR JOY OR BY SHOWING COMPASSION FOR THE SAD THUS HAVING THEIR SORROW WE REFUSE TO FIND DELIGHT IN HOLY THINGS AND LET THE MIND BROOD IN SAD PESSIMISM ON UNHOLY THINGS ALL THESE EVIL PSYCHIC MOODS MUST BE CONQUERED BY STRONG EFFORT OF WILL THIS RENDING OF THE VEILS WILL REVEAL TO US SOMETHING OF THE GRACE AND PEACE WHICH ARE OF THE INTERIOR CONSCIOUSNESS OF THE SPIRITUAL MAN
