[Please see my 3 images of the actual book.] "It is true that Prayer and Trust pertain to the same sector; but such is not the case with metaphysical Discernment, whose subject is not the sensible soul, but pure intelligence; which---far from creating an antagonism---permits the simultaneity of parallel approaches. The proof of this is the altogether lyrical piety of a Shankara, his hymns and invocations to the feminine as well as masculine aspects of the transcendent and immanent Divinity: to the Self who a priori is infinitely 'other,' but who in reality is infinitely 'ourselves.'"---end of Frithjof Schuon's article, page 8.

Usually the roly-poly monk wears a happy smile, but [here] he walks through the water with a sad expression on his face. [The eyes] are wide-spaced, slightly tilted, and wondrously sad. In works like this Fugai transcended most Zen painting of his time by giving a unique depth of personality to his subject."---Page 67.
