Art - must draw inspiration from the world of light

05/02/2011

If humans persist in closing their eyes to the spiritual world, true poetry and true beauty will leave the earth. And what will replace them? All you will see then are cemeteries, prisons and an enormous zoo, with animals guarding other animals. And what animals, at that! The only true art is the one that draws inspiration from the world of light. To have a high ideal, the highest ideal, is the best way of coming into contact with that world. The highest ideal is by definition unachievable, but we need a goal that is infinitely far off. Then, as we follow the road that will bring us closer to it, numerous ties will be woven between us and the whole of the universe, and we will have all eternity to pass through every stage of abundance, wealth, joy, light and true knowledge.
