The Quest...

As he advances on this quest his scheme of values may change.

This is partly because he learns by experience what every man has to learn, quester or not, that all is passing and nothing is stable,

that the fruits of desire may turn to ashes, and that every day brings him nearer to death and farther from life.

But it is partly also what the non-questers too often fail to perceive,

that existence is like a dream,

ultimately hollow,

and that without some sort of link, connection, communion, or glimpse bringing him nearer to the inner reality,

his life remains unfulfilled.
