SPIRITUAL KNOWLEDGE

If thou wishest the divine knowledge and recognition, purify thy heart

from all beside God, be wholly attracted to the ideal, beloved One; search

for and choose Him and apply thyself to rational and authoritative

arguments. For arguments are a guide to the path and by this the heart

will be turned unto the Sun of Truth. And when the heart is turned unto

the Sun, then the eye will be opened and will recognize the Sun through

the Sun itself. Then man will be in no need of arguments (or proofs), for

the Sun is altogether independent, and absolute independence is in need of

nothing, and proofs are one of the things of which absolute independence

has no need. Be not like Thomas; be thou like Peter. I hope you will be

healed physically, mentally and spiritually.
