Leaves of Morya's Garden - Book 2 - Illumination (1925) - 2.4.13: Verily He cleft asunder the chains because He bestowed knowledge without accepting reward. Brotherhood (1937) - 112: 112. Never has a tree cleft by lightning grown back together. It is impossible to penetrate into the depths of the heart if it has been darkened as by a lightning stroke. It is not to be expected that the burned tree will become strong and shady again. So, too, amidst calls to Brotherhood one should not rely upon a heart which has forgotten about good.
