"We are all like a tiny liver cell that has migrated from its place. The tiny liver cell spins and travels through all kinds of tissues. He reaches the brain and says: "This is a very pleasant, elevated place, the air is good here," but his neighbors retort: "Get out of here, you don't belong here!" and push the tiny cell away; and it travels further to the lungs, where it meets the same fate as it did just now. He says: "The world is very evil, no one understands me." If you understood yourself, you would know that you don't belong there!

""Mindnyájan olyanok vagyunk, mint a parányi májsejt, amely elvándorolt a helyéről. A parányi májsejt kereket old és vándorol mindenféle szövevényeken át. Elérkezik az agyhoz, és azt mondja: "Ez igen kellemes, magasan fekvő hely, jó itt a levegő", de a szomszédai ráförmednek: "Eredj innen, nem vagy idevaló!", és kitaszítják a parányi sejtet; az pedig vándorol tovább a tüdőhöz, de ott ugyanarra a sorsra jut, mint az imént. Azt mondja: "Nagyon gonosz a világ, senki sem ért meg engem." Ha magát megértené, akkor tudná, hogy nem ott a helye!"
