Even like the sun is your god-self; It knows not the ways of the mole nor seeks it the holes of the serpent. But your god-self does not dwell alone in your being. Much in you is still man, and much in you is not yet man, But a shapeless pigmy that walks asleep in the mist searching for its own awakening.

Ocean, Humility, Men

But if a man's heart is deprived of peace, where will he find it again, how will he replace it?

Heart, Loss, Men
