• The world of religion is no longer a concrete fact proposed for our acceptance and adoration. It is an unfathomable universe which engulfs us, and which lives its own majestic uncomprehended life: and we discover that our careful maps and cherished definitions bear little relation to its unmeasured reality.

  Acceptance, Reality, Religion

• El idealismo, aunque justo en sus premisas, y a menudo audaz y honesto en su aplicación, está anquilosado por el intelectualismo exclusivo de sus propios métodos: por su confianza fatal en el trabajo de ardilla del cerebro laborioso en lugar de la visión penetrante del corazón deseoso. Interesa al hombre, pero no lo involucra en sus procesos: no lo atrapa en la vida nueva y más real que describe. De ahí que lo que importa, lo viviente, se le haya escapado de algún modo; y sus observaciones guardan la misma relación con la realidad que el arte del anatomista con el misterio del nacimiento.

• It is immediately apparent, however, that this sense-world, this seemingly real external universe - though it may be useful and valid in other respects - cannot be the external world, but only the Self's projected picture of it ... The evidence of the senses, then, cannot be accepted as evidence of the nature of ultimate reality; useful servants, they are dangerous guides.

• As the beautiful does not exist for the artist and poet alone—though these can find in it more poignant depths of meaning than other men—so the world of Reality exists for all; and all may participate in it, unite with it, according to their measure and to the strength and purity of their desire.
