“To reach satisfaction in all
\ndesire its\u00a0possession in nothing
\nTo come to the knowledge of all
\ndesire the knowledge of nothing
\nTo come to possess all
\ndesire the possession\u00a0off nothing
\nTo arrive at being all
\ndesire to be nothing<\/p>\n
To come to the pleasure you have not
\nyou must go by a way in which you enjoy not
\nTo come to the knowledge you have not
\nyou must go by a way in which you know not
\nTo come to the possession you have not
\nyou must go by a way in which you possess not
\nTo come to be what you are not
\nyou must go by a way in\u00a0which you are not<\/p>\n
When you turn\u00a0toward something
\nyou cease to cast yourself\u00a0upon all
\nfor to go from the all to the all
\nyou must leave yourself in all
\nAnd when you come to the possession of all
\nyou must possess it without wanting anything<\/p>\n
In this nakedness the spirit
\nfinds its rest, for when it
\ncovets nothing, nothing
\nraises it up, and nothing
\nweights it down, because it is
\nin the center of its humanity.”<\/p>\n
