Excerpt from the contemplation for seventh movement, Listening to the Heart:

“The cage of illusion breaks open an done can now see clearly
No matter where one looks, there is love and nothing else but love.
East is west, north is south, all lead to one.
The journey proceeds from any direction; One just has to embark on it.
The rest follows as the shadow follows the sun.”
