compassion, for such a one hath not wisdom, vain is all his knowledge, and
his works and words will perish, for they are grounded on that which passes
away.

Let a man abandon self, let him overcome the world, let him deny the
personal; by this pathway only can he enter into the heart of the Infinite.

The world, the body, the personality are mirages upon the desert of time;
transitory dreams in the dark night of spiritual slumber, and those who
have crossed the desert, those who are spiritually awakened, have alone
comprehended the Universal Reality where all appearances are dispersed and
dreaming and delusion are destroyed.

There is one Great Law which exacts unconditional obedience, one unifying
principle which is the basis of all diversity, one eternal Truth wherein
all the problems of earth pass away like shadows. To realize this Law, this
Unity, this Truth, is to enter into the Infinite, is to become one with the
Eternal.

To center one's life in the Great Law of Love is to enter into rest,
harmony, peace. To refrain from all participation in evil and discord; to
cease from all resistance to evil, and from the omission of that which is
good, and to fall back upon unswerving obedience to the holy calm within,
is to enter into the inmost heart of things, is to attain to a living,
conscious experience of that eternal and infinite principle which must ever
remain a hidden mystery to the merely perceptive intellect. Until this
principle is realized, the soul is not established in peace, and he who so
realizes is truly wise; not wise with the wisdom of the learned, but with
the simplicity of a blameless heart and of a divine manhood.
