“Our spiritual way of life is safe for future generations if, as a Society, we resist the temptation to receive money from the outside world.

“We should question no one's transformation -- whether it be sudden or gradual. Nor should we demand anyone's special type for ourselves, because our own experience suggests that we are apt to receive whatever may be the most useful for our needs.”
