No one who comes here but must still have hope, some lingering illusion, or some dream that there is something outside of himself that will bring happiness and peace to him.
If everything is in him this cannot be so.
And therefore by his coming, he denies the truth about himself, and seeks for something more than everything, as if a part of it were separated off and found where all the rest of it is not.
This is the purpose he bestows upon the body; that it seek for what he lacks, and give him what would make himself complete.
And thus he wanders aimlessly about, in search of something that he cannot find, believing that he is what he is not.
