Should everyone learn mysticism? The only difficulty in learning mysticism is man-made; it is not of God's making. The higher life is so much simpler than life on the surface of the earth, but man does not know what he is. He does not know that he is a drop on the surface of the ocean, and yet an ocean himself in his innermost part; that there is nothing that is not within him. A person who says to himself, "I do not possess this faculty", "I cannot put up with this", "I am sorry but I could not think of such a thing", and so forth, well, all these ideas are his imagination, part of the confusion of his thought and lack of understanding of what he is. If a person understood what he is he would never say, "I cannot do this." Instead he would become a real man, that which a man ought to be. The mystic only says, "I cannot" or "I have not" very seldom, and he believes these words still less often.
