Paul Brunton Philosophic Foundation homepage > Notebooks of Paul Brunton



If a man can train himself to keep calm not merely in pleasant periods but also in distressing ones, he will be in better form to do what can be done to mitigate his trouble. Without such self-training and with panicky nerves or fear-stricken mind, he will be in worse form. A calm man's actions when calamity besets him are more likely to be right than a frantic one's.
