“Enlightenment and natural music must not for one moment remain absent from the personality. If one lets this music affect ordering the character, then a quiet, straight, honest and upright personality grows up amply. When a quiet, straight, honest and upright character is created, one becomes cheerful. Through cheerfulness comes peace, Through peace comes duration, Through duration heavenly nature is created, Through heavenly nature divinity is created. Heavenly nature does not need to talk and yet finds belief, Divinity does not need to be angry and yet finds awe. This is the consequence of ordering the character by music.”
