Comfort ye ! The heights of Blessed Vision ye shall reach.
EOLAUS : I know that sorrow follows passion; know
That grief and emptiness, and heartaches wait
Upon all earthly joys ; so am I sad ;
Yet Truth must be, and being, can be found ;
And though I am in sorrow, this I know—
I shall be glad when I have found the Truth.
Prophet : There is no gladness like the joy of Truth.
The pure in heart swim in a sea of bliss
That evermore nor sorrow knows, nor pain ;
For who can see the Cosmos and be sad ?
To know is to be happy ; they rejoice
Who have attained Perfection ; these are they
Who live, and know, and realise the Truth.
He findeth Truth who findeth self-control.
In aiming at the life of blessedness, one
of the simplest beginnings to be considered,
and rightly made, is that which we all
make every day-namely, the beginning
of each day’s life.
There is a sense in which every day
may be regarded as the beginning of a new
life, in which one can think, act, and live
newly, and in a wiser and better spirit.
The right beginning of the day will
be followed by a cheerfulness permeating
the household with a sunny influence,
and the tasks and duties of the day will
be undertaken in a strong and confident
spirit, and the whole day will be well lived.
There can be no progress, no achievement,
without sacrifice, and a man’s worldly
success will be in the measure that he
sacrifices his confused animal thoughts,
and fixes his mind on the development
of his plans, and the strengthening of his
resolution and self-reliance.
And the higher he lifts his thoughts,
the more manly, upright, and righteous
he becomes, the greater will be his success,
the more blessed and enduring will be his
achievements.
