"Just as there is no loss of basic energy in the universe,
so no thought or action is without its effects,

""As a tale, so is life; not how long
it is, but how good it is, is what matters."

"For what is Mysticism? It is not the attempt to draw near to God,
not by rites or ceremonies, but by inward disposition?
