EXPANSION MEANS REALISATION AND PERCEPTION IN THE HIGHEST SENSE - NO MUMBLING WORDS OR GENUFLECTIONS.


If I am God, then my soul is a temple of the Highest, and my every motion should be a worship — love for love's sake, duty for duty's sake, without hope of reward or fear of punishment. Thus my religion means expansion, and expansion means realisation and perception in the highest sense — no mumbling words or genuflections. Man is to become divine, realising the divine more and more from day to day in an endless progress.
