The mind should spread its influence like sunlight — not pouring out wildly, but extending steadily. Whatever obstacles and blocks the mind meets, it must not attack them violently or crash into them. It must not collapse either. Instead, it should stand firm and shine light on whatever can receive it. As for what refuses the light, that's its own fault and loss.
such must the diffusion in the mind be; not an effusion, but an extension. What obstacles and impediments soever she meeteth within her way, she must not violently, and by way of an impetuous onset light upon them; neither must she fall down; but she must stand, and give light unto that which doth admit of it. For as for that which doth not, it is its own fault and loss, if it bereave itself of her light.
