СКАЧАТЬ for us little ones but for the great sages and mystics who experience what we can only read about, and to whom all the words have therefore different (richer) contents. Would not a revelation that contained nothing that you or I did not understand, be for that very reason rather suspect?

      —from a letter to Mrs. Emily McLay, August 8, 1953

      For reflection
