"<p>If, breaking through your fleeting individuality, you penetrate deep within yourself into the eternal soul: you conquer wholeness like a general conquering a castle.<br />There are easier paths to wholeness. Not only by breaking through all temporalities and pushing into the impermanent you can be united with God. Through prayer and sacrifice, you can enrich your feelings in such a way that they reach God. Church-walking, ritual, devotion, supplication, penance, chastity, if done with a whole heart and not seeking to beg earthly goods from heavenly power, all lead to God: by them God bends to you, you feel his kiss, and you become more and more one with him.</p>"
