“The spiritual life is not a special career, involving abstraction from the world of things.”
Evelyn Underhill book Practical Mysticism
Preface, p. 14-15
Practical Mysticism (1914)
Context: The spiritual life is not a special career, involving abstraction from the world of things. It is a part of every man's life; and until he has realised it he is not a complete human being, he has not entered into possession of all his powers.
Jean Chrétien (1934) 20th Prime Minister of Canada
