Rightly understood, the desire for sensation is the desire of being, the distortion of the soul's eternal life. RIGHTLY UNDERSTOOD THE DESIRE FOR SENSATION IS THE DESIRE OF BEING THE DISTORTION OF THE SOUL'S ETERNAL LIFE
the steady, effort to stand in spiritual being. We have thought of ourselves, perhaps, as creatures moving upon this earth, rather helpless, at the mercy of storm and hunger and our enemies. We are to think of ourselves as immortals, dwelling in the Light, encompassed and sustained by spiritual powers. The steady effort to hold this thought will awaken dormant and unrealized powers, which will unveil to us the nearness of the Eternal. 14. This becomes a firm resting-place, when followed long, persistently, with earnestness. We must seek spiritual life in conformity with the laws of spiritual life, with earnestness, humility, gentle charity, which is an acknowledgment of the One Soul within us all. Only through obedience to that shared Life, through perpetual remembrance of our oneness with all Divine Being, our nothingness apart from Divine Being, can we enter our inheritance. 15. Ceasing from self-indulgence is conscious mastery over the thirst for sensuous pleasure here or hereafter. IS THE STEADY EFFORT TO STAND IN SPIRITUAL BEING WE HAVE THOUGHT OF OURSELVES PERHAPS AS CREATURES MOVING UPON THIS EARTH RATHER HELPLESS AT THE MERCY OF STORM AND HUNGERS AND OUR ENEMIES WE ARE TO THINK OF OURSELVES AS IMMORTALS DWELLING IN THE LIGHT ENCOMPASSED AND SUSTAINED BY SPIRITUAL POWERS THIS STEADY EFFORT TO HOLD THIS THOUGHT WILL AWAKEN DORMANT AND UNREALISED POWERS WHICH WILL UNVEIL TO US THE NEARNESS OF THE ETERNAL SUTRA FOURTEEN THIS BECOMES A FIRM RESTING PLACE WHEN FOLLOWED LONG PERSISTENTLY WITH EARNESTNESS WE MUST SEEK SPIRITUAL LIFE IN CONFORMITY WITH THE LAWS OF SPIRITUAL LIFE WITH EARNESTNESS HUMILITY GENTLE CHARITY WHICH IS AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF THE ONE SOUL WITHIN US ALL ONLY THROUGH OBEDIENCE TO THAT SHARED LIFE THROUGH PERPETUAL REMEMBRANCE OF OUR ONENESS WITH ALL DIVINE BEING OUR NOTHINGNESS APART FROM DIVINE BEING CAN WE ENTER OUR INHERITANCE SUTRA FIFTEEN CEASING FROM SELF INDULGENCE IS CONSCIOUS MASTERY OVER THE THIRST FOR SENSUOUS PLEASURE HERE OR HEREAFTER
