Know thou of a truth that the seeker must, at the beginning of his quest
for God, enter the Garden of Search. In this journey it
behoveth the wayfarer to detach himself from all save God and to close
his eyes to all that is in the heavens and on the earth. There must not
linger in his heart either the hate or the love of any soul, to the extent
that they would hinder him from attaining the habitation of the celestial
Beauty. He must sanctify his soul from the veils of glory and refrain
from boasting of such worldly vanities, outward knowledge, or other gifts
as God may have bestowed upon him. He must search after the truth to
the utmost of his ability and exertion, that God may guide him in the
paths of His favour and the ways of His mercy. For He, verily, is the
best of helpers unto His servants. He saith, and He verily speaketh the
truth: "Whoso maketh efforts for Us, in Our ways shall We assuredly
guide him." And furthermore: "Fear God and God will give you knowledge."

Gems of Divine Mysteries, Pages 27 - 28)

His agent told him that Sydney Pollack, director of "Tootsie" and the Oscar-winning "Out of Africa," was considering him for a part in a new political thriller.
"I had to rush to test for the role," Mr. Cameron said. "I turned up late...but they liked what I did."
