In creating this universe God revealed two aspects: the masculine or
fatherly, and the feminine or motherly. If you close your eyes and
visualize vast, illimitable space, you become overwhelmed and
enthralled--you feel naught but pure wisdom. That hidden, infinite
sphere wherein there is no creation, no stars or planets--only pure
wisdom--is the Father.
--Paramahansa Yogananda, "Man's Eternal Quest"
