"Head of an Ascetic speaks restraint, control and moderation abstinence and severe renunciation of all effort, emotions and wants these lead one to knowledge of oneself - this is the message I send you, those who come, countless of you after when I am gone It is now, as it will be in all times... anxiety, violence and change parochialism, pain and disorder all these will follow us like the wind behind the dust in the air; and so offer all you have renounce all your wishes and emotions offer all abandon and enjoyment on the altar of the earth... let the dust of the mind settle let lack of want abide and go no more than the vital needs and you will know the self with clarity and so stand calm before the vagaries of the world "
