Returning to the origin

"When the world takes its beginning. Reason becomes the world's mother. When he who knows his mother, knows in turn that he is her child, and when he who is quickened as a child, in turn keeps to his mother, to the end of life, he is not in danger. When he closes his mouth, and shuts his sense-gates, in the end of life, he will encounter no trouble; but when he opens his mouth and meddles with affairs, in the end of life he cannot be saved. Who beholds his smallness is called enlightened. Who preserves his tenderness is called strong. Who uses Reason's light and returns home to its enlightenment does not surrender his person to perdition. This is called practising the eternal."
