' Knowledge in the heart '...

Spiritual self-realization is the main thing.

Study of the teachings concerning cosmical evolution and the psychical evolution of man are but intellectual accessories--things we may or may not take on our journey, as we like.

That part of man which reasons and speculates--mortal mind--is not the part which can discover and verify the existence of God.

We are not necessarily helped or hindered on the divine path by taking up the lore of science or by becoming versed in the ways of sophistry.

Once we live out our spiritual life in the heart, the rest sinks to second place.
