Cure for the Spirit

 Cure for the Spirit

Pg.96 : Letters from a Stoic

Seneca


Cures for the spirits have been discovered

And handed down by Ancients! 


Just like, Body is sick and you have fever

Your mind is sick 

And you need to treat for the depression

If your spirit is sick - you have ego

And continue to chase the riches

Even if you may have enough! 

Wisdom becomes then the cure for the spirit that is Ill


Wisdom! Ah!

Is the  medicine that you need to drink!

Before you chase the Riches! 



Seneca had for this to say about his Gurus:

“Shall I admit into my soul
With (not) less than the highest marks of respect
Marcus Cato- the Elder and the Younger
Laelius , the Wise
Socrates and Plato
Zeno and Cleanthes
I worship them in very Truth 
And always rise to do honors
To such noble names"
