Franz Kafka
Universal Love, Spiritual Perspective, Renunciation, Humanity, Understanding, Compassion
7. “To believe in the supernatural is not simply to believe that after living a successful, material, and fairly virtuous life here one will continue to exist in the best-possible substitute for this world, or that after living a starved and stunted life here one will be compensated with all the good things one has gone without: it is to believe that the supernatural is the greatest reality here and now.” T.S. Eliot Supernatural, Reality, Belief, Spiritual Perspective, Existential Philosophy, Religious Insight
8. “Smiling, Siddhartha felt happiness at the friendship and friendliness of the ferryman. He is like Govinda, he thought, smiling. All the people I meet upon my way are like Govinda. All of them are grateful, though they themselves have cause to expect gratitude. All of them are deferential, all are eager to be a friend, to obey and think little. People are children.” Hermann Hesse Siddhartha, Govinda, Children, Human Nature, Social Observation, Spiritual Perspective
9. “The world, my friend Govinda, is not imperfect, or on a slow path towards perfection: no, it is perfect in every moment, all sin already carries the divine forgiveness in itself, all small children already have the old person in themselves, all infants already have death, all dying people the eternal life.” Hermann Hesse World, Perfect, Forgiveness, Spiritual Perspective, Existential Completeness, Cyclical Nature
15. “I am entirely on the side of mystery. I mean, any attempt to explain away the mystery is ridiculous. I believe in the profound and unfathomable mystery of life which has a sort of divine quality about it.” Aldous Huxley Mystery, Life, Divinity, Knowledge, Philosophical Stance, Spiritual Perspective
16. “The Vision of Christ that thou dost see, Is my vision's greatest enemy. Thine is the Friend of all Mankind, Mine speaks in Parables to the blind. Thine loves the same world that mine hates, Thy heaven-doors are my hell gates.” William Blake Vision, Christ, Contrast, Philosophical Dialogue, Spiritual Perspective, Poetic Opposition
