The life of the spirit is the expression of Infinity and, as such, knows no artificial limits. True spirituality is not to be mistaken for an exclusive enthusiasm for some fad. It is not concerned with any "ism.” When people seek spirituality apart from life, as if it had nothing to do with the material world, their search is futile. View quote
