“There are seconds⁠—they come five or six at a time⁠—when you suddenly feel the presence of the eternal harmony perfectly attained. It’s something not earthly⁠—I don’t mean in the sense that it’s heavenly⁠—but in that sense that man cannot endure it in his earthly aspect. He must be physically changed or die. This feeling is clear and unmistakable; it’s as though you apprehend all nature and suddenly say, ‘Yes, that’s right.’ God, when He created the world, said at the end of each day of creation, ‘Yes, it’s right, it’s good.’ It⁠ ⁠… it’s not being deeply moved, but simply joy. You don’t forgive anything because there is no more need of forgiveness. It’s not that you love⁠—oh, there’s something in it higher than love⁠—what’s most awful is that it’s terribly clear and such joy. If it lasted more than five seconds, the soul could not endure it and must perish. In those five seconds I live through a lifetime, and I’d give my whole life for them, because they are worth it. To endure ten seconds one must be physically changed. I think man ought to give up having children⁠—what’s the use of children, what’s the use of evolution when the goal has been attained? In the gospel it is written that there will be no childbearing in the resurrection, but that men will be like the angels of the Lord. That’s a hint. Is your wife bearing a child?”
