By entering into contact with the nature of a flower, its inner truth . . . one knows what it represents . . . If you are in contact with it, if you feel it, you can get an impression which may be translated as a thought. There is a kind of identification with the vibration, a perception of the quality that it represents . . . little by little there occurs a close approach between these vibrations, that are of the vital-emotional order, and the vibration of mental thought.
