"From the point of view of the Hindu, it is not so much that the external world will one day dissolve into the original Great Man, but that the ego's extraverted orientation toward the external world will disappear in order to make way for the Cosmic Man. This happens when the ego merges into the Self. The ego's discursive flow of representations (which goes from one thought to the other) and its desires (which runs from one object to another) calm down when the Great Man within is encountered."
– M.-L. von Franz, Man and His Symbols, p. 216

"As far as our superior functions are concerned, the efforts of many generations have detached a certain sum of energy that is under the control of our will. But there is a primitive in us all who lies beyond the reach of our will, and there we are entirely dependent on our instincts. Moreover, we experience the same phenomenon the moment we touch our inferior function, whereupon an indolence, exactly like the primitive's, possesses us immediately."
