---

Intellectual standpoints and emotional moods may change, and do, but this heavenly consciousness stops all that, for it belongs to a timeless world. There, no arguments can begin, whether with others or oneself: no feelings can toss the man about with each new event or circumstance. There, a superior wisdom reigns, so lucid, so penetrating, that it certifies its own worth, debate being quite unnecessary. And there, finally, the self is at last purified and stabilized in its higher identity and is therefore at peace.
