ACTIVITY - Inactivity should be avoided by all means, it only leads us to be
nonsensical. Activity implies resistance. Resist all evils, mental and physical and when you have learnt to do this without fear or favour you will find calmness around you and peace of mind to give you company.
AFFLICTION - Contrary to what might be expected, I look back on experience, that at the time seemed desolating and painful, with particular satisfaction. Indeed everything I have learnt, everything that has truly enhanced and enlightened my existence has been through 'affliction' and through 'happiness'. If it were to be possible to eliminate affliction from our earthly existence, the result would not be to make life delectable, but to make it too banal and trivial to be endurable.
