Cristian or Jew, he will surely find the kingdom of God here on earth - as far as his religion is concerned. What I mean is, this much religion will not interfere with man’s happiness. It needs a higher state of mind than religion can bring, to bring one to the kingdom of God or more briefly - to happiness.(HT)Some people make so much a do about the penances they perform that at times I can scarce hear the cicada’s shrill song. Having contrived to be alone, I can hear the moonlight falling thru the trees.
