For various reasons, such as the exclusiveness of the teachers and foreign conquest, those thoughts were not allowed to spread. Yet they are grand truths; and wherever they have been working, man has become divine.
… …and the time is coming when these thoughts will be cast abroad over the whole world.
Instead of living in monasteries, instead of being confined to books of philosophy to be studied only by the learned, instead of being the exclusive possession of sects and of a few of the learned, they will all be sown broadcast over the whole world, so that they may become the common property of the saint and the sinner, of men and women and children, of the learned and of the ignorant.
They will then permeate the atmosphere of the world, and the very air that we breathe will say with every one of its pulsations, "Thou art That".
And the whole universe with its myriads of suns and moons, through everything that speaks, with one voice will say, "Thou art That".
