    Do not become discouraged

    by the discovery you are human.

    Human nature may tend toward evil

    but it is not inherently sinful

    make not the mistake of estimating

    the soul’s worth by the imperfections

    of the mind or the appetites of the body

    Judge not the soul nor evaluate

    its destiny by the standard of a

    single unfortunate human episode

    You are destined to live a 

    narrow and mean life

    if you

    learn to love only

    those who love you

    Human love

    may indeed be reciprocal,

    but divine love

    is outgoing in all

    its satisfaction-seeking

    The less of love

    in any creature’s nature

    the greater the love need,

    and the more does divine love

    seek to satisfy such need

    Spiritual living mightily

    increases true self-respect.

    But self-respect is not self-admiration.

    Self-respect is always co-ordinate

    with love and service of one’s fellows.

    It is not possible to

    respect yourself more than

    you love your neighbour;

    the one is the measure of the 

    capacity for the other

    Are your ideals sufficiently high

    to ensure your eternal salvation

    while your ideas are so practical

    as to render you a useful citizen

    to function on earth in association

    with your fellow mortals?

    The measure of the spiritual capacity of

    the evolving soul is your faith in truth

    and your love for man

    Defeat is the true mirror

    in which you may honestly

    view your real self

    As you grow older in years

    and more experienced in the

    affairs of the kingdom, are you

    becoming more tactful in dealing

    with troublesome mortals and

    more tolerant in living with

    stubborn associates?

    Tact is the fulcrum of 

    social leverage, and

    tolerance is the earmark

    of a great soul

    Seek no

    unearned recognition

    and crave no

    undeserved sympathy
