If you knew how to transport your burdens beyond the limits of the earth's gravity, they would lift you like a balloon, higher & ever higher

You have to move a great block of stone and, since it is subject to the earth's gravity, it is heavy. But if you could move it far enough from the earth to escape its attraction, it would become light and would even float. Let us now apply this physical law to the world of the psyche. If you knew how to transport your burdens beyond the limits of the earth's gravity, not only would they cease to weigh you down, but they would lift you like a balloon, and you would rise higher and ever higher. And when a master asks you to free yourself, what does he mean? That you must liberate yourself from all your mundane, prosaic activities in order to take up other responsibilities, divine responsibilities that will elevate you.
