Self-control, self-reliance, and watchfulness–
These are the three lesser powers.
Steadfastness, Patience, and Gentleness–
These are the three greater powers.
When thy mind is well controlled, and in thy keeping,
When thou reliest upon no external help, but upon Truth alone,
And when thou art ceaselessly watchful over thy thoughts and actions–
Then will the three lesser powers be thine,
And with these powers thou wilt dispel the Great Darkness,
Thou wilt approach the Supreme Light;
Approaching the Supreme Light, thou wilt become steadfastly fixed in
Truth.
Thou wilt become patient with an infinite patience,
And gentle with a gentleness which nothing can change or mar;
Then will the three greater powers be thine;
Then wilt thou come to the end of the path of discipline,
And wilt ascend unto the higher path of knowledge;
Walking the path of knowledge thy sorrow will cease.
Thy darkness will pass away forever,
And joy and light will wait upon thy footsteps.
