Mysticism occurs whenever a human being sees the separation between the natural and the supernatural, between the temporal and the eternal, as overcome.

Today . . . we know that all living beings who strive to maintain life and who long to be spared pain - all living beings on earth - are our neighbors.

I am life that wants to live, in the midst of life that wants to live.

Any profound view of the world is mysticism. It has, of course, to deal with life and the world, both of which are nonrational entities.

My life carries its own meaning in itself.

We cannot possibly let ourselves get frozen into regarding everyone we do not know as an absolute stranger.

When man learns to respect even the smallest being of creation...nobody has to teach him to love his fellow man. Compassion for animals is intimately connected with goodness of character, and it may be confidently asserted that he who is cruel to animals cannot be a good man.
