Quote

Man is a physical and spiritual epitome of the Universe.

He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the universe.

Just as the individual is not alone in the group, nor any one in society alone among the others, so man is not alone in the universe.

It is a curious thing: man, the centre and creator of all science, is the only object which our science has not yet succeeded in including in a homogeneous representation of the universe. We know the history of his bones, but no ordered place has yet been found in nature for his reflective intelligence.

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.

Man is always marveling at what he has blown apart, never at what the universe has put together, and this is his limitation.

It is the lot of man to share in the deeper aspirations of the universe around him and to share his own destiny as well as that of the universe, now by adjusting himself to its forces, now by putting the whole of his energy to his own ends and purposes.

Man lives in a world of meaning.

Man must do his part and detach himself from created things.
