But unsafe are the boats of sacrifice to go to the farthest shore; unsafe are the eighteen books where the lower actions are explained. The unwise who praise them as the highest end go to old age and death again. Abiding in the midst of ignorance, but thinking them- selves wise and learned, fools aimlessly go hither and thither, like blind led by the blind. Wandering in the paths of unwisdom, 'We have attained the end of life', think the foolish. Clouds of passion conceal to them the beyond, and sad is their fall when the reward of their pious actions has been enjoyed. Imagining religious ritual and gifts of charity as the final good, the unwise see not the Path supreme. Indeed they have in high heaven the reward of their pious actions ; but thence they fall and come to earth or even down to lower regions. But those who in purity and faith live in the solitude of the forest, who have wisdom and peace and long not for earthly possessions, those in radiant purity pass through the gates of the sun to the dwelling-place supreme where the Spirit is in Eternity.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Juan Mascaro" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/juan-mascaro/if-a-man-begins-his-sacrifice-when-the-flames-are-luminous-and/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/735/juan-mascaro-59486_afterlife_if-a-man-begins-his-sacrifice-when-the-f_522098.png", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/735/juan-mascaro-59486_afterlife_if-a-man-begins-his-sacrifice-when-the-f_522098.png", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/735/juan-mascaro-59486_afterlife_if-a-man-begins-his-sacrifice-when-the-f_522098.png", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“If a man begins his sacrifice when the flames are luminous, and considers for the offerings the signs of…” — Juan Mascaró", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/sacrifice-flames/juan-mascaro/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/sacrifice-flames/juan-mascaro/", "name": "Sacrifice Flames Quotes by Juan Mascaro", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/sacrifice-flames/juan-mascaro/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/735/juan-mascaro-59486_afterlife_if-a-man-begins-his-sacrifice-when-the-f_522098.png" }, "description": "1 Sacrifice Flames quotes by Juan Mascaro.
