If this is not so, invariably and evidently, then there is something wrong in us. I do not mean that it is possible or even desirable for us to go through life without making any mistakes. We learn by our mistakes. But more and more I believe that we can come into the way of such complete guidance that we will make no serious misstep. We all of us want health, but we must bring more than our thoughts to bear on the bringing of health. We must feel as well as think. One does not interfere with the other. The feeling must be the inspiration that directs the thought. This is not visionary. It is the most practical thing in life. We need the vision in order to be truly practical. We must hold ourselves open to every influence of good, and remember that we are all members one of another. "If any man will do my will he shall know of the doctrine." Through doing good to others we will come into realization. There is no other way. We never get any satisfaction from trying any other way. Sometimes we say: "So and so did me an evil turn; shall I, then, do him good?" Yes, even more so than ever. Life is a continual adjustment and overcoming of false conditions by the real. We make a great deal too much of what we call evil in other people's lives. Altogether too much is made of the transitory and immature on the surface of life. These are only as contrast to the real and abiding. Kindness in ourselves begets kindness in others. These are the real things, the real riches - kindness and gentleness and faith. These are the things that we store up eternally, and that none can take from us. We are only wasting our time when we work for what is not real and lasting. It is when we become one with, not only those who love us, but with those who hate and distrust us, that we realize the greatest power.

This is the real success in life - this is the living of the larger life. If we can only put away from us all sense of separateness! We can never feel near to any one while we distrust or dislike him. The person we hate or dislike is just as much a part of us as the one we like - just as much as our hand is a part of our body. And when we feel ourselves separate from another, we cut off, as it were, a part of ourselves - a vital part. The more we ourselves develop the more we see to love in others, and the closer we come to what is real and good in these others. Our relations with others prove our own development, and how far we have traveled in this journey of life. When we come to the point where we feel no unkindness toward any living creature, it seems to me we will have reached one of the highest possible planes of development in this world. If we would only be willing to give - give all - without thought of reward - give our very selves! Then we would come quickly into the life of love. When we have learned to give of ourselves - to give the real things of life - our giving will be of the truest. Life is too short to waste it in condemning - too short to sit in judgment. We have only time enough to see the good, and our greatest realization of power will come as we realize our oneness with all others, for only in this way can we realize our oneness with God, and attain to real Dominion and Power which comes alone from living the complete, the whole life, the life wherein the Spirit of Love guides and directs in the way of all truth, bringing at last the full realization that man is a son of God endowed with eternal life.
