It is a source of joy and delight. Consider the significance of unity and harmony. This evening I will speak to you upon the subject of existence and nonexistence, life and death.
Existence is the expression and outcome of composition and combination.
Nonexistence is the expression and outcome of division and disintegration. If we study the forms of existence in the material universe, we find that all created things are the result of composition. Material elements have grouped together in infinite variety and endless forms. Likewise, in the world of minds and souls, fellowship, which is an expression of composition, is conducive to life, whereas discord, which is an expression of decomposition, is the equivalent of death. Without cohesion among the individual elements which compose the body politic, disintegration and decay must inevitably follow and life be extinguished.
