"For the bird in mid-ocean flying over the dark, deep, blue waters, the only resting place is the mast of a ship that is sailing across. In the same way, the Lord is the only refuge for a man who is swept by storms over a restless sea. However far the bird may fly, it knows where it can rest; that knowledge gives it confidence. It has the picture of that mast steady in its mind; its form is fixed in the eye. The Name of the Lord is the mast for you; remember it ever. Associate it with the Form and have that Form fixed in your mind's eye. It is a lamp shedding light in the recesses of your heart. Have the Name on your tongue and it will drive away the inner as well as the outer darkness."
