Do We Ask What Profit The Little

My Greatest Desire Is That I May Perceive The God Whom I Find Everywhere In The External World, In Like Manner Also Within And Inside Myself.

It Is A Right, Yes A Duty, To Search In Cautious Manner For The Numbers, Sizes, And Weights, The Norms For Everything [god] Has Created. For He Himself Has Let Man Take Part In The Knowledge Of These Things ... For These Secrets Are Not Of The Kind Whose Research Should Be Forbidden; Rather They Are Set Before Our Eyes Like A Mirror So That By Examining Them We Observe To Some Extent The Goodness And Wisdom Of The Creator.

The Chief Aim Of All Investigations Of The External World Should Be To Discover The Rational Order And Harmony Which Has Been Imposed On It By God And Which He Revealed To Us In The Language Of Mathematics.

Why Are Things As They Are And Not Otherwise?

Just As The Eye Was Made To See Colours, And The Ear To Hear Sounds, So The Human Mind Was Made To Understand, Not Whatever You Please, But Quantity.
