Guard the heart above all else,
for it is the source of life.

'Behind and above the thinking and feeling and willing soul, or souls, is the real Man - the unalloyed soul, which studies and judges the others. It does not so much feel as see that the inferior souls of him, the outer husk of the spirit, feels. This is the calm, lovely thing, really untroubled by the vagaries of life, which presides over all . .
