The first rule of spiritual wisdom is to forget the world: Forget about doing good in the world; forget your fellow-man. Concern yourself, first of all, with establishing your sown spiritual integrity and with realizing your own spiritual identity. It is a rich perfume which escapes from you without any conscious effort. Then you do not have to go up and down the world being a “do-gooder.”
