“Disease, suffering, death – these are reminders, convenient reminders,
that man most profoundly is not of this world…. Whatever the “eat, drink, and be merry” school says, self-conscious man must face this problem.”
“Why is the truth, it would seem, revealed to some and not to others? Is there a special organ for receiving revelation from God? Yes, though usually we close it and do not let it open up: God’s revelation is given to something called a loving heart.”
― Seraphim Rose, God’s Revelation to the Human Heart
