"This much is certain: when a man is happy, happy to the core and root of beatitude, he is no longer conscious of himself or anything else."

Previous Quote

The more that man is able to distinguish himself from the rest of creation, the more he becomes conscious of himself as subject, as an "I", to whom the whole world is Object, the more does he tend to confuse himself with God, to confuse his spirit with the Spirit of God.
