"If a person does five samayiks (introspective meditation) he will say, 'I did five'- and this is how he will taste the sweetness of the subtle-pride of doership. Actually what he should say is, 'it was due to God's grace that I was able to do five samayik'. He should not taste the sweetness of subtle pride of doership."
