İnsandan Bağımsız Hakikatler

We thus already know with certainty that there is, in corporeal Nature, a Superior Power that is greater than man and which subjects him to its Laws. We can no longer doubt its existence, even though the efforts man has made to know and explain this Power have so rarely yielded satisfying enlightenment or success. Let us recall how we demonstrated the weakness and infirmity of Nature relative to the Principles from which she drew her origin, and from which she daily derives her subsistence and her reaction. We shall then see that if man is subject to this Nature, he will be even more so to the Superior Principles that direct and sustain her. Although he has understood their power as little as he has understood that of Nature, his own reason would prevent him from denying their existence, even if his feeling did not come to its support. What, then, will be produced by everything he might do, imagine, say, or institute against the Laws of these Superior Principles? Far from being in the slightest way altered, these Laws only further demonstrate their strength and power by leaving the man who distances himself from them abandoned to his own doubts and the uncertainties of his imagination.
