From your past emerges the present, and from the present is born your future.

Become dust - and they will throw thee in the air; Become stone - and they will throw thee on glass.

But inner experience is only one source of human knowledge.

When truth has no burning, then it is philosophy, when it gets burning from the heart, it becomes poetry.

Yet higher religion, which is only a search for a larger life, is essentially experience and recognized the necessity of experience as its foundation long before science learnt to do so.

The revealed and mystic literature of mankind bears ample testimony to the fact that religious experience has been too enduring and dominant in the history of mankind to be rejected as mere illusion. There seems to be no reason, then, to accept the normal level of human experience as fact and reject its other levels as mystical and emotional.
