Heaven and hell are the material manifestation of agreeable and disagreeable thoughts. All the good deeds of a lifetime may be swept away in the flood caused by a single sin. A learned man without will power is like a head without a body. All that one holds is conserved; all that one lets go is dispersed. A pure conscience gives one the strength of lions, and by a guilty conscience even lions are turned into rabbits. The only thing that is made through life is one's own nature. Be either true or false, for you cannot be both. Truth is a divine inheritance found in the depth of every human heart. It is only out of consideration for others that the kingly soul obeys the law; otherwise, he is above the law. He who can live up to his ideal is the king of life. The God who is intelligible to man is made by man himself, but what is beyond his intelligence is the reality. The closer one approaches reality, the nearer one comes to unity. A lifetime is not sufficient to learn how to live in this world. HIK
