Universal literature is there to teach you what human passions are. All you have to do is read, no need to make costly experiences to know them

"You meet very few people who do not acknowledge the fact they need to live in harmony and light. But when they are told what they need to do to achieve it, they become more reticent. They feel they must first taste all the pleasures life has to offer, experience everything to know life fully, so it seems. How misguided they are. How can they imagine that having wasted their physical and psychic energies on such experiences, they will be in a state to do the inner work to taste the harmony, peace and light they seek. The only thing they will be capable of will be to read a few books, from which they will then quote: 'Moses said ... Buddha said ... Jesus said ...' They will of course not be capable of implementing anything these great masters have said. Well, I recommend that you live the teaching of the great masters and that for the rest, when it comes to impassioned adventures, you confine yourself to quoting from them. The universal literature is there to teach you what human passions are. All you have to do is read, no need to make costly experiences to know them. Understand this well, there is one life that should be lived and another that should serve simply for quotation."
