Virtue is not found in the world, it is wrapped up inside the soul and needs to be unfolded. To' save the soul' means to save the seed of virtue for the time, and place where the spirit reveals it to you. To understand it leads you into the heart of all the teachers of wisdom since ever this germ was found and fanned into life. Teachers are then called 'gardeners' of the soul, and teachers of the Way of the Spirit.
