God Needs No Worship, No

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.

Outwardly One's Life May Suffer Every Kind Of Limitation, From Bodily Paralysis To Miserable Surroundings, But Inwardly It Is Free In Meditation To Reach Out To A Sphere Of Light, Beauty, Truth, Love, And Power.

When Every Situation Which Life Can Offer Is Turned To The Profit Of Spiritual Growth, No Situation Can Really Be A Bad One.

The Source Of Wisdom And Power, Of Love And Beauty, Is Within Ourselves, But Not Within Our Egos. It Is Within Our Consciousness. Indeed, Its Presence Provides Us With A Conscious Contrast Which Enables Us To Speak Of The Ego As If It Were Something Different And Apart: It Is The True Self Whereas The Ego Is Only An Illusion Of The Mind.
