Truth Does Not Become More True By

While One Man Can Discover A Certain Thing By Himself, Another Is Never Able To Understand It, Even If Taught By Means Of All Possible Expressions And Metaphors, And During A Long Period; His Mind Can In No Way Grasp It, His Capacity Is Insufficient For It.

God Who Preceded All Existence Is A Refuge.

An Ignorant Man Believes That The Whole Universe Only Exists For Him: As If Nothing Else Required Any Consideration. If, Therefore, Anything Happens To Him Contrary To His Expectation, He At Once Concludes That The Whole Universe Is Evil. If, However, He Would Take Into Consideration The Whole Universe, Form An Idea Of It, And Comprehend What A Small Portion He Is Of The Universe, He Will Find The Truth. There Are Many ... Passages In The Books Of The Prophets Expressing The Same Idea.

The Soul, When Accustomed To Superfluous Things, Acquires A Strong Habit Of Desiring Things Which Are Neither Necessary For The Preservation Of The Individual Nor For That Of The Species. This Desire Is Without Limit, Whilst Those Which Are Necessary Are Few In Number And Restricted Within Certain Limits; But What Is Superfluous Is Without End.

The Key To The Understanding And To The Full Comprehension Of All That The Prophets Have Said Is Found In The Knowledge Of The Figures, Their General Ideas, And The Meaning Of Each Word They Contain.
