Everything pertaining to what's happening has never come to the surface. The world will never know the true facts of what occurred, my motives.

Be light-hearted, light-footed. Be of light step. Don't carry religion like a burden. And don't expect religion to be a teaching; it is not. It is certainly a discipline, but not a teaching at all.

It is an answer to human curiosity, and curiosity is not a true search.
