"Everything on earth is transient, ephemeral, but above our heads the sun remains, unchanging and eternal, and that is where we must direct our gaze. When you seek the truth you must turn to something that doesn’t pass away, that doesn’t change. But it seems difficult for humans to find the right attitude towards the sun: either they neglect it or they exaggerate its role; either they think it has nothing to do with religion or they worship it as an idol. They are mistaken in both cases. By giving the sun no place in their inner life, they are depriving themselves of an essential element. But to focus on the physical sun as though it were an idol is to regress to the mentality of those primitive peoples who worshipped the forces of nature.
The sun must simply be a way of finding God, our inner sun. Each day, by contemplating it, by exposing ourselves to its rays and identifying with it, we increase our divine light, warmth and life."
