A vida contemplativa, para sequer existir, tem que considerar os acidentes objetivos como premissas dispersas de uma conclusão inatingível; mas tem ao mesmo tempo que considerar as contingências do sonho como em certo modo dignas daquela atenção a elas, pela qual nos tornamos contemplativos.

Question:

Why does the contemplative life need to consider both objective accidents and dream contingencies in order to exist?

Answer (optional):

The contemplative life needs to consider both objective accidents and dream contingencies in order to exist because, as the passage suggests, recognizing both reality and illusion is equally necessary and equally useless. Objective accidents represent the reality that cannot be fully grasped, while dream contingencies represent the illusions that offer different perspectives to approach life. The contemplative life requires considering both aspects, as each provides a way to renew and enrich one's experiences and interactions with the universe. This enables the contemplative spirit to access the entire universe, even if it has never left its village, and find infinity within a cell, a desert, or a stone.
