The praying mind does not think, does not reason--it lives. Its
activity does not consist in the manipulation of abstract concepts but
in participating in being. It is concerned with actual existence, an
existence which cannot be included within the narrow framework of
human concepts.

much the end, which may appear to be holy and sublime, as the means
selected to achieve the end.
