בְּדַרְכֵי קְנִיַּת הַטָּהֳרָה הִנֵּה הַדֶּרֶךְ לְהַשִּׂיג הַמִּדָּה הַזֹּאת, קַל הוּא לְמִי שֶׁכְּבָר הִשְׁתַּדֵּל וְהִשִּׂיג הַמִּדּוֹת הַשְּׁנוּיוֹת עַד הֵנָּה. כִּי הִנֵּה כְּשֶׁיַּחְשֹׁב וְיִתְבּוֹנֵן עַל פְּחִיתוּת תַּעֲנוּגֵי הָעוֹלָם וְטוֹבוֹתָיו, כְּמוֹ שֶׁכָּתַבְתִּי לְמַעְלָה, יִמְאַס בָּהֶם וְלֹא יַחְשְׁבֵם אֶלָּא לְרָעוֹת וּלְחֶסְרוֹנוֹת הַטֶּבַע הַחָמְרִי הֶחָשׁוּךְ וְהַגַּס. וּבְהִתְאַמֵּת אֶצְלוֹ הֱיוֹתָם מַמָּשׁ חֶסְרוֹנוֹת וְרָעוֹת, וַדַּאי שֶׁיָּקֵל לוֹ לְהִבָּדֵל מֵהֶם וְלַהֲסִירָם מִלִּבּוֹ.
The way to attain this trait is easy for one who has already strove and attained all the aforementioned traits. For when one thinks and contemplates on the lowliness of the pleasures of this world and its good, as I wrote earlier, he will come to despise them, and will not consider them to be anything but evils and lackings of the dark and coarse physical nature. When the truth ingrains within him of their being real lackings and evils, certainly it will become easier for him to separate from them and remove them from his heart.
