More From Rainer Maria Rilke

My eyes already touch the sunny hill. going far ahead of the road i have begun. so we are grasped by what we cannot grasp; it has inner light, even from a distance- and charges us, even if we do not reach it, into something else, which, hardly sensing it, we already are; a gesture waves us on answering our own wave... but what we feel is the wind in our faces.
Distance Eye Light
The universe (he said) offers a paradox too great for the finite mind to grasp. as the living brain cannot conceive of a nonliving brain — although it may think it can — the finite mind cannot grasp the infinite.
Thinking Brain Mind
A religious phenomenon will only be recognized as such if it is grasped at its own level, that is to say, if it is studied as something religious. to try to grasp the essence of such phenomenon by means of physiology, psychology, sociology, economics, linguistics, art or any other study is false; it misses the one unique and irreducible element in it - the element of the sacred.
Religious Art Mean
Religion is not what you will get after reading all the scriptures of the world. it is not really what is grasped by the grain. it is a heart grasp.
Art Reading Religion
Religion is not what is grasped by the brain, but a heart grasp.
Heart Religion Brain
The gospel cannot be preached and heard enough, for it cannot be grasped well enough ... moreover, our greatest task is to keep you faithful to this article and to bequeath this treasure to you when we die.

Genius is an intellect that has become unfaithful to its destiny.
Destiny Genius Unfaithful
The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. we have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift. we will not solve the problems of the world from the same level of thinking we were at when we created them. more than anything else, this new century demands new thinking: we must change our materially based analyses of the world around us to include broader, more multidimensional perspectives.
Thinking Faithful Servants Perspective
My legacy doesn't matter. it isn't important that i be remembered. it's important that when i stand before the lord, he says, 'well done, good and faithful servant.' i want to finish strong.
