Letter 7: THE CHARIOT

"When you resist a temptation or renounce something desired below, you set in motion by his very fact forces of realization of that which corresponds above to that which you come to renounce below. It is this that the Master designates by the word "reward" when he says, for example, that it is necessary to guard against practicing righteousness before other people in order to gain their regard, "for then you will have no reward from your father who is in "heaven" (Matthew vi, 1). Reward is therefore the action that one sets in motion above by the renunciation of desire for things below. It is the "yes" from above corresponding to the "no" from below." --VT
