"As the social self can only be developed by contact with society, so the spiritual self can only be developed by contact with the spiritual world."

Previous Quote

A saint is simply a human being whose soul has ... grown up to its full stature, by full and generous response to its environment, God. He has achieved a deeper, bigger life than the rest of us, a more wonderful contact with the mysteries of the Universe; a life of infinite possibility, the term of which he never feels that he has reached.

— Evelyn Underhill
