"There is nothing that is evil and unworthy of love. Even the urges of man are not evil: 'the greater a man, the greater his urge.' "The pure and holy man makes out of his urge 'a chariot of God'; he delivers it from all shells and allows his soul to complete itself therein. Man must feel his urges in their depths and take possession of them. 'He shall learn to know pride and not be proud, know anger and not become angry. And so it is with all qualities. Man shall become whole in all qualities. . . . The fate of man is only the expression of his soul: he whose thoughts roam about unclean things finds the unclean in his life; he who submerges himself in the holy, experiences salvation. The thought of man is his being: he who thinks of the upper world is in it. All outward teaching is only an ascent to the inward; the final aim of the individual is to become himself a teaching. In reality, the upper world is not an outward but an inward one: it is 'the world of thought.'" - Travis , posted 09/19/06 |
