Therefore the belief of a mystic is not an outward belief in a deity one has not seen; the mystic's worship is not an outer form, so that by saying prayers his or her worship is finished. The mystic makes the best use of the outer things, but at the same time the mystic's pursuit is logical and scientific. The mystic will, if possible, unite the outer form with the mystical conception. Mysticism is the scientific explanation and also the realization of things taught by religion, things which otherwise would have no meaning to an ordinary person.
