![Sins exist only for people who are on the Way or approaching the Way. And then sin is what stops a man ... What puts a Man to Sleep?](http://esotericquotes.com/wp-content/uploads/gurdjieff/what-puts-man-sleep.jpg)
“Sins exist only for people who are on the Way or approaching the Way. And then sin is what stops a man, helps him to deceive himself and to think he is working when he is simply asleep. Sin is what puts a man to sleep when he has already decided to awaken. And what puts a man to sleep? Again everything that is unnecessary, everything that is not indispensable.”
