“To live in the city of crowds and traffic and constant noise, to be always striving, to be in the ceaseless competition for money and status and power, perhaps distracted the mind until it could no longer see—and forgot—the all that is.

“The dream is the liberation of the spirit from the pressure of external nature, a detachment of the soul from the fetters of matter.”
