Your Self Is Sacred; Be True To

He Is Beginning To Master Wisdom When He Tries To Learn How Not To Try.

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.

Such Excessive Preoccupation With His Faults Is Not A Truly Spiritual Activity But, On The Contrary, A Highly Egoistic One.the Recognition Of His Own Faults Should Make A Man Humbler, When It Is Beneficial, Not Prouder, Which The Thought That He Ought To Have Been Above These Faults Makes Him.

Although The Pure Truth Has Never Been Stated, Nevertheless It Has Never Been Lost. Its Existence Does Not Depend Upon Human Statement But Upon Human Sensitivity. In This It Is Unlike All Other Knowledge.

When Spiritual Seeking Becomes Too Complicated, Its Exercies Too Elaborated, Its Doctrines Too Esoteric, It Becomes Also Too Artificial And The Resulting Achievements Too Fabricated. It Is The Beginners And Intermediates Who Carry This Heavy And Unnecessary Burden, Who Involve Themselves To The Point Of Becoming Neurotics.
