Religion to these individuals is the reason, and terribly stony at that.
I couldn't care less for anyone who can't love my "Dearest"… .
they (alluding to a few) never were quite a bit of religious men – for example,
they just needed to talk and reason,
did not battle to see the Beloved;
and until one does that I don't state that he has any religion.
- He may have books,
- frames,
- regulations,
- words,
- reasons,
- and so forth.,
so forth., not the religion;
for that starts when the spirit feels the need,
the need,
the longing after the "Dearest",
at no other time."
