... what may be called this mysterious universe that, without doubt, is within each one of us

 

Each time I sit before you I want to convey the most important thing. I want people to experience this greatness, this vastness, what may be called this mysterious universe that, without doubt, is within each one of us. It’s pretty hard to describe, but when we use phrases like "cultivate your own spirit," the word "spirit" includes the whole universe, and this is what I want to share with the hope that people may experience it for themselves.
