For the mystical practice of an Indian, Persian, Chinese, or Neo-Platonic mystic it is a matter of indifference whether Rama, Buddha, Laotse, or Porphyrius are myths or not. The mystic has no personal relation to them. It is not here a question of somebody telling me the truth which of myself I cannot find, but of my finding an access to the depths of the world in the depths of my soul. And everywhere the tendency is to eliminate personality. Even where religion does not have this mystical character, it has no relation to an historical person, who communicates himself to me. That is the characteristic essence of the Christian faith alone. Even where a prophet plays the role of a mediator of divine truth, as for example in Islam, the religious act is not directed toward him but toward his teaching or message. But the Christian does not believe in the teachings of Jesus -- which would not be Christian faith, but general religion -- he believes in Christ Himself as being the Word of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6904</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything I did in my life that was worthwhile I caught hell for. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21336]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything I did in my life that was worthwhile I caught hell for.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21336</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Woe to him, . . . who has no court of appeal against the world's judgment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23530]]></link><description><![CDATA[Woe to him, . . . who has no court of appeal against the world's judgment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23530</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Absence is to love what wind is to fire; it extinguishes the small, it enkindles the great. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/132]]></link><description><![CDATA[Absence is to love what wind is to fire; it extinguishes the small, it enkindles the great.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/132</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Brighter than Parian marble. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50197]]></link><description><![CDATA[Brighter than Parian marble.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50197</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friendship is a blessing and love is a gift.
