Practice –
that is the real thing in spiritual matters.
Scholarship is a burden; it is very often a handicap.
So long as God is believed to be far away,
in temples and holy places, man will feel
religion a burden and a hurdle.
But, plant Him in your heart
and you feel light,
burdenless and even strong.
It is like the food basket,
when carried, is felt heavy; but,
sit near a stream and eat it;
though the total weight has
not changed or decreased,
you feel lighter and stronger.
That is the consequence
of taking the food in; do
likewise with the idea of God.
Do not carry it on the shoulder, have it in.
