Advancement of the Mystic...

The excessive joy and throbbing ecstasy of which the annals of
mysticism so often speak belong mostly to the novice and intermediate.
The truly advanced man experiences quite the contrary, which is a deep
sadness, although it never shakes his unalterable serenity. This is
because the first two are primarily preoccupied with their personal
feelings whereas the third has also brought compassion for all mankind
within the orbit of his outlook.
