אות - מה

One must guard the thought very much, because from thought an actual vital thing can be made. And know that every aspect that is higher above in the person, it is able to attain and reach more. For example, with the foot one can throw some object upward, but with the hand one can throw upward more. And with speech one can attain and reach even more and more, because with speech one can speak to a distant place. And hearing is higher above and one can hear a sound from very far away — like when one fires cannons (what they call "hormates") one can hear from very far away. And sight can attain and reach still more and more, because with sight one can see and gaze at the heavens. Thus every aspect that is higher above, it can attain and reach more. And the thought is very high above, above everything — and can attain and reach higher, higher above. Therefore one must guard it very much.
