Sacrifice

Mr. Gurdjieff said "Sacrifice is necessary, something important in the moment
must be sacrificed". We believe this is a concept he actually borrowed from the original
Physician's oath, to sacrifice ones comfort, for the sake of helping others (one's patients).
For Gurdjieff, this was a constant practice. Super efforts, going beyond one's little self to
become a new man. Note, this does not necessarily mean huge efforts of strength or endurance.
But perhaps sometimes, just to be kind.
