The World Is Our School For Spiritual

Accept The Long Night Patiently, Quietly, Humbly, And Resignedly As Intended For Your True Good. It Is Not A Punishment For Sin Committed But An Instrument Of Annihilating Egoism.

Appetite Has Really Become An Artificial And Abnormal Thing, Having Taken The Place Of True Hunger, Which Alone Is Natural. The One Is A Sign Of Bondage But The Other, Of Freedom.

This Withdrawal From The Day's Turmoil Into Creative Silence Is Not A Luxury, A Fad, Or A Futility. It Dissolves Mental Tensions And Heals Negative Emotions.

Worry Is Spiritual Short Sight... Its Cure Is Intelligent Faith.

Whoever Accepts The Higher Mission Of Art And Comes Nearer And Nearer To It Through His Creative Activity, Will Then Go On From Art To The Spirit Deep Within His Own Self... The Philosophic Search For Enlightenment And The Artist's Search For Perfection Of Work Can Meet And Unite. Art Can Be A Path To Spiritual Enlightenment But Not To Complete And Lasting Enlightenment. It Can Be Born Out Of, And Can Give Birth Itself To, Only Glimpses. For Art Is A Search For Beauty, Which By Itself Is Not Enough. Beauty Must Be Supported By Virtue And Both Require Wisdom To Guide Them.
