Gilbert K. Chesterton Quotes, Art Quotes, Essence Quotes

There should be no cackle of voices at your elbow to jar on the meditative silence of the morning.

What you call the psychic being is the mind of the vital. The heart is the seat of this mind. And this mind is the essence of the senses. It receives things from outside, acts upon things that are outside - knows, gives consent, takes interest in them. But this mind cannot be the Ishwara, but it is the knower, the giver of the consent.
