And so it is that no religious man or philosopher however good and pure can get at the knowledge of the mystic, because the mystic's knowledge is the greatest of all. Just as a man standing on the mountain sees more than he who stands at the bottom. Or, can a man who wants to see the moon see it by looking on the ground? The words of Christ, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God" are so simple, and yet understood by so few. The Christ-spirit is the mystic spirit. Even before Christ mysticism has always existed. Buddha, Krishna, Moses and Mohammed, all walked the path of the mystic. Can you tell me of Krishna going to an academy to learn? Or Christ or any other teacher learning from outer sources? No, their knowledge came from the Divine Source.
