1:17:02
and giving the people there
something of the faith
1:17:06
you are now inspiring in me?
1:17:09
Ah, Professor,
1:17:12
you do not understand
man's psyche
1:17:14
as well as you know archaeology.
1:17:18
Faith cannot be given to man.
1:17:22
Faith is not the result of thinking.
1:17:25
It comes from direct knowledge,
1:17:29
for example,
1:17:32
if my own brother
were to entreat me to give him
1:17:35
a tenth part of my understanding,
I couldn't,
1:17:39
because he has neither the knowledge
nor the experience
1:17:42
which I have acquired in my life.
1:17:44
This would be like
1:17:47
wishing to fill someone
with bread merely by looking at him.
1:17:51
There is a law:
1:17:55
The quality
of what you understand
1:17:57
depends on the quality
of the person speaking.
1:18:02
In our order
we have two very old brothers,
1:18:08
the one is called brother Akhel,
1:18:11
the other brother Seze.
1:18:14
They constantly travel from one
monastery to another preaching there.
1:18:19
Once or twice a year
they come to us.
1:18:23
This is always
1:18:26
a very great event.
1:18:32
When brother Seze speaks,
1:18:36
it is like the song
of the birds in paradise.
1:18:39
Brother Akhel's speech
has almost the opposite effect.
1:18:43
He speaks badly and indistinctly.
1:18:47
The stronger the impression
made by brother Seze,
1:18:50
the quicker it evaporates,
until there is nothing left.
1:18:56
Brother Akhel makes
almost no impression,
1:18:59
but what he says penetrates
into the heart and remains there.
