Live on that idea.
Let the brain, muscles, nerves,
every part of your body Be full of
that idea.

transformed in to
an actual physical or mental state.

the highest form of the worship of God.

worship, As the highest worship, and
devote your whole life to it for the time
being.

fame, nor learning,
it is CHARACTER
that can cleave through adamantine
walls of difficulties.

lie within you, and if you can bring out that
power,
You also can be like Me.
