This universe of ours, the universe of the senses, the rational, the intellectual, is bounded on both sides by the illimitable, the unknowable, the ever unknown.
Herein is the search, herein are the inquiries, here are the facts; from this comes the light which is known to the world as religion.
Essentially, however, religion belongs to the supersensuous and not to the sense plane.
It is beyond all reasoning, and not on the plane of intellect.
It is a vision, an inspiration, a plunge into the unknown and unknowable, making the unknowable more than known, for it can never be "known".
