Here is a beautiful quote:
Man stands midway between heaven and earth,
With his feet deep in the mud of material life
And his head in heaven.
In the majority of cases his eyes are closed,
And he sees not the beauty of the heavenly vision,
Or they are open but fixed upon the mud and slime
With which his feet are covered.
But when his open eye is lifted
For a brief moment,
And sees the world of reality and of spiritual values,
Then, and only then,
The torn and distracted life of the Aspirant begins.
