Quote by Albert Einstein

If the possibility of the spiritual development of all individuals is to be secured, a second kind of outward freedom is necessary. The development of science and of the creative activities of the spirit in general requires still another kind of freedom, which may be characterised as inward freedom. It is this freedom of the spirit which consists in the interdependence of thought from the restrictions of authoritarian and social prejudices as well as from unphilosophical routinizing and habit in general. This inward freedom is an infrequent gift of nature and a worthy object for the individual.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of two kinds of freedom for the spiritual development of individuals. The first is outward freedom, which guarantees the possibility for everyone to pursue their spiritual growth. The second is inward freedom, which is essential for the advancement of science and creative activities. Inward freedom is described as the ability to think independently, free from the limitations of authority, societal biases, and unthinking conformity. It is considered a rare and valuable attribute that individuals should aspire to attain for themselves, as it allows for personal growth and encourages a more profound understanding of the world.

O, how wonderful is the human voice! It is indeed the organ

O, how wonderful is the human voice! It is indeed the organ of the soul! The intellect of man sits enthroned visibly upon his forehead and in his eye; and the heart of man is written upon his countenance. But the soul reveals itself in the voice only; as God revealed himself to the prophet of old in the still, small voice; and in a voice from the burning bush. The soul of man is audible, not visible. A sound alone betrays the flowing of the eternal fountain, invisible to man!
