Paul Brunton Philosophic Foundation homepage > Notebooks of Paul Brunton



A man may fall into the sin of vanity because of the facility with which he is able to work up the devotional feelings or excite the spiritually rapturous ones. But those who enter into the Void because they are able to enter into the innermost part of themselves cannot fall into this sin. They are detached not only from the emotions but also from themselves. This is why they live in so great and so constant a peace.
