This
material world has an outward appearance, as it has also an inner reality. All
created things are interlinked in a chain leading to spirituality and
ultimately ending in abstract realities. I hope that these spiritual links will
become stronger day by day and that this communication of hearts, which is
termed inspiration, will continue. When this connection exists, bodily
separation is not important; this condition is beyond the world of words and
above all description.

April 28, 1912; Mahmud’s Diary)
