To be absorbed into ourselves would mean that we would be enslaved to something inferior. Such an absorption can not last, if Aristotle is right, because thinking is not satisfied until it reaches the greatest.
We are destined to the same enslavement and discontent whatever our thinking object might be – unless we think of the greatest. Since in this thinking, and only in this, the same is most-valuable object and most-valuable subject, there is no enslavement, inferiority and dissatisfaction.
