Light and thought should always come first

"Light and thought should always come first and direct everything

in all situations. Feelings, emotions and desires must come

second. Suppose you have put feeling and desire in first place,

before thought: you are going to give way to your impulses, to

your preferences, without reasoning or reflecting. Well, that

will devalue what you are doing, and you may even fail.

That does not mean you should suppress feelings or desires; no,

you would be depriving yourself of the immense riches that lie in

matter, which thought must work on. But try to put thought first,

so that you will always find the right way ahead, the right

solutions and the right way to behave."
