It is by endeavoring to do the great things rather than the small that we fail to find and follow the law and to realize that our hearts are pulsating every moment in harmony with the finer forces of nature and the inexpressible vibrations of divine life. It is ignorance of these facts that causes so much unrest in the nature of man. There is always a danger in such cases of the dogmatic attitude, and of finding oneself in a rut instead of swinging far out into the universal thought and moving forward along the broad road of spiritual effort. The strain that exists upon the body and mind of the extremist is terrible. In weeks perhaps, or months, something may happen that will cause its complete undoing.
Safety lies in keeping to middle lines.
Do not look for phenomenal occurrences nor expect any startling manifestation through or for yourself. The divine laws do not work that way, but in silence in the inmost part of our being. One must not take a yardstick to measure one's spiritual advancement. And remember that if you drop a single note in a melody, the whole piece is spoiled. A new life must come to humanity, else it will surely go down in darkness.
