Following this, the Master commented on the spaciousness and pleasantness of the park:
“It is indeed uncrowded and peaceful here. The weather is lovely, and the grass is verdant and beautiful. To walk in such places causes one to feel more spiritual, and grants tranquillity to one's heart. This is especially the case when one is alone, and may enter into a state of reflection and transcendence.”
