Part 2
To do as one really wishes to do -- so as to not do what one knows one ought not -- one must remember one's original wish in each moment when life asks what is it that one wants more than anything else. Far better to remember this still frail wish and suffer for failing to embody it, than to forget it... and become the body of what must pass.
