605 purity, righteousness, and well-directed thought, a man
606 ascends; by the aid of animality, indolence, impurity,
607 corruption, and confusion of thought a man descends.
608 A man may rise to high success in the world, and even to lofty
609 altitudes in the spiritual realm, and again descend into
610 weakness and wretchedness by allowing arrogant, selfish,
611 and corrupt thoughts to take possession of him.
612 Victories attained by right thought can only be maintained by
613 watchfulness. Many give way when success is assured, and
614 rapidly fall back into failure.
615 All achievements, whether in the business, intellectual, or
616 spiritual world, are the result of definitely directed thought,
617 are governed by the same law and are of the same method;
618 the only difference lies in the object of attainment.
