>By inner freedom one attains happiness, by inner freedom one reaches the Supreme, by inner freedom one comes to absence of thought, by inner freedom to the Ultimate State. 18.50

>When one sees oneself as neither the doer nor the reaper of the consequences, then all mind waves come to an end. 18.51

>The spontaneous unassuming behaviour of the wise is noteworthy, but not the deliberate purposeful stillness of the fool. 18.52

>The wise who are rid of imagination, unbound and with unfettered awareness, may enjoy themselves in the midst of many goods, or alternatively go off to mountain caves. 18.53

>There is no attachment in the heart of a wise man whether he sees or pays homage to a learned brahmin, a celestial being, a holy place, a woman, a king or a friend. 18.54

>A yogi is not in the least put out even when humiliated by the ridicule of servants, sons, wives, grandchildren, or other relatives. 18.55

>Even when pleased he is not pleased, not suffering even when in pain. Only those like him can know the wonderful state of such a man. 18.56

Was Tolkien high while writing this part?

>ridiculously powerful god-tier character met early on in the novel
>literally never mentioned again

Hey dol! merry dol! ring a dong dillo!

Finished the Hobbit and Fellowship, what lies ahead anons?

There my pretty lady is. River-woman’s daughter
Slender as the willow-wand, clearer than the water!

Old Tom Bombadil, water-lilies bringing!
Comes hopping home again, can you hear him singing!

What the fuck was his problem?
