| Simplicity Simplicity, simplicity! How sweet is the purity of
Thy presence! |

As soon as all effort disappears from a
manifestation, it becomes very simple, with the
simplicity of a flower opening, manifesting its
beauty and spreading its fragrance without clamour
or vehement gesture. And in this simplicity lies
the greatest power, the power which is least mixed
and least gives rise to harmful reactions. The
power of the vital should be mistrusted, it is a
tempter on the path of the work, and there is
always a risk of falling into its trap, for it
gives you the taste of immediate results; and, in
our first eagerness to do the work well, we let
ourselves be carried away to make use of this
power. But very soon it deflects all our action
from the right course and introduces a seed of
illusion and death into what we do.
