1 " Sanctity means separation from the spirit of the world, with immersion in the activity of the world.

2 " The son of Confucius once said to him: “I apply myself with diligence to every kind of study, neglect nothing that could render me clever and brilliant; but I do not advance.” “Omit some of your pursuits,” replied Confucius, “and you will get on better.
