The Path: its influence, implications and rewards

Let there be many windows in your soul,
That all the glory of the universe
May beautify it. Not the narrow pane
Of one poor creed can catch the radian rays
That shine from countless sources. Tear away
The blinds of superstition; let the light
Pour through fair windows, broad as truth itself
And as high heaven....Tune your ear
To all the worldless music of the stars
And to voice of nature, and your heart
                                                                Shall turn to truth and goodness as the plant
                                                                Turns to the sun. A thousand unseen hands
                                                                Reach down to help you to their peace-crowned Heights
                                                                And all the forces of the Firmament
                                                                Shall fortify your strength. Be not afraid
                                                                To thrust aside half-truths and grasp the whole.
                                                                                                                                        Ralph Waldo Trine
