Mark Lidzbarski

“ He who listens to the call of life is built up. He is built up and armed, and his strength is doubled. Again, he who listens to the call of life receives rich gain. He neither gains nor loses; he is united with the Great. He is united with the Great One, he ascends and beholds the place of light. ”

“ Life is held high and is victorious, and victorious is the man who has gone here.
