by Rav Avraham Yitzchak Kook
From my nature I am summoned to do everything for the sake of the deed [itself] and to speak of matters for their own sake.
For me, the variety of ulterior motives and blemishes of thought and desire are merely external things. And if I strengthen myself with great faith in the quality of the light of my soul, which is united with pure humility, I will conquer everything. Then the light of Hashem will shine on me clearly and broadly, and I will be able to speak words of truth, without any fear and without any desire to curry favor in the world.
Chadarav, p. 146
