Letter 11: FORCE

"What the yogi and the monk achieve after long endeavors of discipline and sacrifice, the "artful man" (khitryi cheloviek) can achieve without effort, without sacrifice, and almost immediately, taking a pill containing quite assorted elements...Those seeking transcendental experience by such means evidently want to dispense with the costs of the way of regular spiritual development, in order to obtain cheaply what others obtain only after much effort and sacrifice." --VT
