Agni Yoga (1929) - 10: 10. When alone, spurning possessions, standing firm and unperturbed, not bewailing his fate - only then does the daring one exult. Hierarchy (1931) - 24: 24. Man is merciless to himself. Bewailing his fate, he forgets that he inflicts upon himself a severe penalty. It is difficult for Us to make people assimilate the thought of karma; but in a still more intractable state is the consciousness of a man headed straight for the abyss. People prefer self-destruction and self-deception to the enlightenment of consciousness.
