The 'mystical experience'. Always here and now - in that freedom which is one with distance in that stillness which is born of silence. But - this is a freedom in the midst of action, a stillness in the midst of other human beings. The mystery is a constant reality to him who, in this world, is free from self-concern, a reality that grows peaceful and mature before the receptive attention of assent.

Additional quotes by Dag Hammarskjöld

"PRAY that your loneliness may spur you into finding something to live for, great enough to die for."
Dag Hammarskjold
Swedish diplomat (1905 - 1961)

Mitte kunagi lubada edul varjata enda tühisust, panusel enda tähtsusetust, tööelul oma kõledust, et säiliks edasipürgimise ajend - see hingevalu, mis meid tagant kihutab. Ära vaata tagasi. Ära unista tulevikust: ta ei tagasta sulle möödanikku ega rahulda teisi õnneunelmaid. Sinu kohustus ja su tasu - su saatus - on SIIN ja PRAEGU.
