The best comparison is with our eyes. How many buildings and countries, and big animals, and churches and cathedrals, our eyes have seen simultaneously, and yet eyes are scarcely an inch in length and width. The soul which is so great, sees and perceives through man, who is so little. The soul of man who seems to be so small a being, is incomparably great, its space being within. The universe cannot contain it, and yet, in the universe there are many souls, the souls of the bees and ants and the souls of all the animals, and the souls of all men and women.
