  Spiritual meditation is the pathway to Divinity. It is the mystic ladder which
  reaches from earth to heaven, from error to Truth, from pain to peace. Every
  saint has climbed it; every sinner must sooner or later come to it, and every
  weary pilgrim that turns his back upon self and the world, and sets his face
  resolutely toward the Father's Home, must plant his feet upon its golden
  rounds. Without its aid you cannot grow into the divine state, the divine
  likeness, the divine peace, and the fadeless glories and unpolluting joys of
  Truth will remain hidden from you.
