Life is none other than a form of combustion. It is impossible for anything to manifest in the universe without the combustion of matter to produce energy. And human beings cannot live, in other words cannot act, feel or think, unless a fuel is burnt within them to feed the process. To sustain life, something must always be burnt. You will say, ‘But what must be burnt?’ Good question. Instead of burning your most precious quintessences by giving way to instincts and passions, learn to burn your instincts and passions by renouncing them. You must put your jealousy, anger and sensuality right there in the fire, the fire of the spirit, so they produce an extraordinary light, flame and heat, like the black, twisted branches that feed a furnace. The secret lies in how we burn all our impurities to feed the heavenly fire.
