You think to the creature is given freedom, whereas it finds itself momentarily in the greatest restriction. Hunger forces you to eat, tiredness demands sleep from you. The external sensory human is subject to the powers of nature; he has no freedom, he can only wish. The truly human powers by contrast are belief, hope, and love, hunger and thirst for knowledge, the flight of fantasy, desire for a spiritually higher life. These are powers which act through themselves, which are not to be commanded, and which, if you attempt to model them according to your own arbitrary ideas, turn against us to our detriment.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 98\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.23 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 18, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51773566157088,"sku":"9780473723972","price":23.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/d3e4c5a788bd8feb3017d49c56cd7a1f_932a76fb-5893-48dc-9833-28757009f3e7.webp?v=1780427850","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/wisdom-of-the-orient-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
