Question: What did you mean by real soul?
Answer: 'Real' I said in this way: there is a real gold and imitation gold. Gilt will turn out to be not the same. But the real will prove in the end to be real, as we say 'the real friend.' A person may be a friend one day and turn out different next time. Just think how man has always loved real, although man lives in the midst of the world and has to meet with falseness. Yet he has that innate love of reality. Even in a false thing, as earthly treasure, he seeks for the real gold. He is not satisfied with the gilt.
