“The soul is like a bowl of water, and impressions are like a ray of light that falls on the water. When the water is disturbed, the ray seems to be disturbed as well, even though it isn’t. Likewise, therefore, when someone has a dizzy spell, it isn’t his skills and virtues that become confused, but the spirit that contains them. When the spirit settles down, they settle down as well.”
