You return and again take the proper course, guided by what?

Summary

This quote suggests that when we deviate from our intended path, we should rely on a mental image of our desired destination to guide us back. It implies the importance of having a clear vision or goal in mind, as it serves as a compass to help us make course corrections whenever we stray. By consistently referring to this mental picture of where we want to go, we can refocus our efforts and make the necessary adjustments to ensure we stay on track towards reaching our intended destination.
