I Don't Want To Be

Light Does Not Come From Light, But From Darkness.

Man Makes Himself, And He Only Makes Himself Completely In Proportion As He Desacrilizes Himself And The World. The Sacred Is The Prime Obstacle To His Freedom. He Will Become Himself Only When He Is Totally Demysticized. He Will Not Be Truly Free Until He Has Killed The Last God.

A Religious Phenomenon Will Only Be Recognized As Such If It Is Grasped At Its Own Level, That Is To Say, If It Is Studied As Something Religious. To Try To Grasp The Essence Of Such Phenomenon By Means Of Physiology, Psychology, Sociology, Economics, Linguistics, Art Or Any Other Study Is False; It Misses The One Unique And Irreducible Element In It - The Element Of The Sacred.

To Believe That I Could, At Twenty-three, Sacrifice History And Culture For The Absolute Was Further Proof That I Had Not Understood India. My Vocation Was Culture, Not Sainthood.

To Whatever Degree He May Have Desacralized The World, The Man Who Has Made His Choice In Favor Of A Profane Life Never Succeeds In Completely Doing Away With Religious Behavior.
