We are all made in the image of God, beings of immortal consciousness cloaked in diaphanous heavenly light – a heritage buried beneath the cloddish flesh.

Fulfilling one’s earthly responsibilities need not separate man from God, provided he maintains mental uninvolvement with egotistical desires and plays his part in life as a willing instrument of the Divine.
