Art, when inspired with love, leads to higher realms. Love art, and that art will open for you the inner life.
When you paint, you forget everything except your object. When you are too much engrossed in it you are lost in it; and when you are lost in it, your ego diminishes, Love infinite appears; and when Love is created, God is attained. So you see how art can lead one to find Infinite God.
