The World Is Our School For Spiritual

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.

The Seeker After Stillness Should Be Told That The Stillness Is Always There. Indeed It Is In Every Man. But He Has To Learn, First, To Let It In And, Second, How To Do So.
