Publisher's description:
The mystic who believes her or himself to be a mystic is not a mystic: rather she or he, a lover of secrets, is playing with the occult. The true mystic understands that the whole purpose of life is a type of awakening. The scientists who delight in making things more and more involved, more and more mysterious for other people to understand are false mystics.
The mystical life is not a constant mystiquing, but a constant revealing. It is a path of sanity. Saints are those beings who face and deal with the devils in their lives. So make these devils into bundles and throw them over your shoulder. Throw them behind you, and also the next angel which comes along. There is but one thing to do and that is to awaken. There is no time for dallying, for having long conversations with these devils and angels. Some of you are like the person en route to collect a treasure, who knows exactly where it is concealed, but dallys to chat about the weather. You prefer to have a long involved conversation instead of realising that that is another illusion. It is as unnecessary as saying "Comment ca va?" all day.Collection
