Man is a creature who walks in two worlds and traces upon the walls of his cave the wonders and the nightmare experiences of his spiritual pilgrimage.
Religion points to that area of human experience where in one way or another man comes upon mystery as a summons to pilgrimage.
As I make my slow pilgrimage through the world, a certain sense of beautiful mystery seems to gather and grow.
Life is a pilgrimage. The wise man does not rest by the roadside inns. He marches direct to the illimitable domain of eternal bliss, his ultimate destination.
Man is a spiritual intelligence, who has taken flesh with the object of gaining experience in worlds below the spiritual, in order that he may be able to master and to rule them, and in later ages take his place in the creative and directing hierarchies of the universe.
But the main things about a man are his eyes and his feet. He should be able to see the world and go after it.
Man, your head is haunted; you have wheels in your head! You imagine great things, and depict to yourself a whole world of gods that has an existence for you, a spirit-realm to which you suppose yourself to be called, an ideal that beckons to you. You have a fixed idea!
Man tells his aspiration in his God; but in his demon he shows his depth of experience.
