-<blockquote>Similarly it is that during those periods of spiritual dryness we can, if we
-have so trained ourselves, commune with God through various forms of Art, for
-Art fundamentally is a revelation of the Divine Nature, it reveals what Plato
-called the Idea or the Archetype. The ancient Greeks were particularly sensitive
-to this aspect of Art. If they looked at a statue of Apollo, the sun-god, it was
-not merely to them a statue of some handsome youth, but there radiated from the
-statue a mysterious influence, so that they came to feel the influence of God.
-Similarly with the goddess Minerva; they felt, when there was an adequately
-beautiful image in a temple, that somehow as they offered their adoration to it,
-the image was like a wonderful window through which they looked into the Divine
-Nature.<ref>Jinarājadāsa, Curuppumullage. Discourses on the Bhagavad Gita (Adyar, Madras: Theosophical Publishing House, 1953), 99.</ref></blockquote>
