17. The Mystic's Nature
The Mystic's Realization
Lastly there is the mystic's realization. It is the mystic who realizes the latent power in man, and he may realize it even to such an extent that no man could believe it if it were to be put into words.
He realizes the latent inspiration in man, an inspiration which culminates in revelation, when every object and every being begins to communicate with him, when he knows and sees and understands and realizes the essence of the whole of life.
The mystic knows, if anyone knows, what limitation means, for that is wherein lies his suffering, his pain; and the mystic knows what perfection means, for it is in perfection that his joy and his happiness are to be found.
