He Who Does Not See God In

I Was A Coward. I Used To Be Haunted By The Fear Of Thieves, Ghosts And Serpents. I Did Not Dare To Stir Out Of Doors At Night. Darkness Was A Terror To Me. It Was Almost Impossible For Me To Sleep In The Dark, As I Would Imagine Ghosts Coming From One Direction, Thieves From Another And Serpents From A Third. I Could Not Therefore Bear To Sleep Without A Light In The Room.

I Hold That Without Truth And Nonviolence There Can Be Nothing But Destruction Of Humanity.

I Am A Poor Mendicant. My Earthly Possessions Consist Of Six Spinning Wheels, Prison Dishes, A Can Of Goat's Milk, Six Homespun Loincloths And Towels And My Reputation, Which Cannot Be Worth Much.

The External Is In No Way The Essence Of Religion, But The External Often Proclaims The Internal.

I Do Not Accept The Orthodox Teaching That Jesus Was Or Is God Incarnate In The Accepted Sense Or That He Was Or Is The Only Son Of God.
