The monk practices spiritual reading. For him a book is not a source of information, but a way to pray. What if we always read as prayer, every book a scripture, whether science, fiction, or theology? Our minds might release some of their authority and influence, allowing our hearts, or some other place of reflection, to be nourished.

Lost Christianity: A Journey of Rediscovery
to the Centre of Christian Experience by Jacob Needleman
Mysticism and spirituality by themselves are not enough. Social action and therapeutic caring by themselves are not enough. Nor is it enough merely to reach for both at the same time. The lost element in our lives is the force within myself that can attend to both movements of human nature within my own being and can then guide the arising of this force within my neighbor in a manner suited to his understanding.
