Preach the law. A mystic sage is a person who lives in a deep spiritual experience of God's presence and manifests a Divinely illuminated wisdom. The creature should not be proud of itself, it should be proud of its Creator. All that it is and does flows from its creation. Our worth is not determined by who we are, but by whose we are.
Different people make a difference.
Death is the result of sin. We have feared the result more than the cause. To assume is to prejudge, and to prejudge is to misjudge. The peace of God is found in the absence of self. Silence speaks louder than words.
