Happy are those who act only for God, with love, for the Lord will offer them much more.
Happy are those who put God in their minds, who have thoughts continually absorbed in him, who always offer their service to the Lord, and who think of him constantly, for they will obtain the mercy of the Lord, and will therefore be in personal contact with him.

Know that Virtue, the purest of the gunas, enlightens the being and frees him from consequences of all his culpable acts. The one she governs develops knowledge, but at the same time, becomes conditioned by the feeling of happiness that she brings. It attaches the being to happiness. Whoever dies under virtue gains the upper planets, the pure planets where the great sages live. Acts performed under the aegis of virtue lead to the purification of their author. From virtue is born true knowledge. Those ruled by virtue little by little rise to the higher, paradisiacal planets.
The Passion, know it, consists of thirst, of ardent and endless desires. It borders the embodied soul which it dominates with material action and its fruits. Sometimes,
