Albert Einstein, a famous cosmic scientist, mystic, visionary, humanist, wrote in one of his books: “Why is it that all churches promise heaven to good men and not the intelligent ones?”
And he answers: “The churches are right... intelligent man discovers the facts of nature that already existed before him, but the good man creates the values of his consciousness that did not exist before and which he created. Therefore, it is much more important to create values than to discover facts.”
It sounds like a mystic and not a mathematician speaking. However, the mathematician is also a mystic in his way because mysticism is nothing other than the consciousness of reality, and mathematics is reality.
The good man is a creator of values within himself. An intelligent man is just a discoverer of facts external to him. What is external from us, we cannot take it, but what is within us, we can. Values are eternal; facts are temporary things. No one can create values within itself, eternal and indestructible, if it has no experience of the spiritual reality. This Reality is called God, who we think is external from us, and of the soul that is within us... which is the same thing. A transcendent God is called “the Divinity”, and an immanent God is called God in us, our soul; and we take with us only our immanent God, our soul. That is why Jesus, the greatest of the initiate, said: “For what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his soul?” And this is a pearl of logical and mathematically correct wisdom!
