If a man gives way to all his desires, or panders to them, there will be no inner struggle in him, no 'friction,' no fire. But if, for the sake of attaining a definite aim, he struggles with the desires that hinder him, he will then create a fire which will gradually transform his inner world into a single whole. ~ P.D. Ouspensky, In Search of the Miraculous
Fanning the flames
Burning off impurities
Creating fertile volcanic soil š„
