the end of all disciplines
The end of all disciplines and the aim of all exertions is that a person reaches the Unity of God: that he sees it and nothing else, that he reads it and nothing else, that he be obedient to it and nothing else. In his inner being no other urge remains. When it is thus, a good character has been achieved. Indeed, one has passed over from the world of mankind and reached the true nature of God.
