我们可能会花费大部分时间没有意识和没有开明，但是真理和上帝的存在，就像一个深厚而古老的朋友一样，可以塑造我们的一生。因此，内在的任务变成了我们如何与比我们更大的团结建立持久的友谊？当没有星星出现时，我们如何将他们的光线保持在我们的心中？
(we may spend much of our time unaware and unenlightened, yet the presence of Truth and God, like a deep and ancient friend, can shape our entire lives. So the inner task becomes how do we make a lasting friendship with the Unities that are larger than us? How do we keep their light in our heart when no stars appear in sight?)
