"The truly wise and good man sees good in all, evil in none. He has abandoned the folly of wanting others to think and act as he thinks and acts, for he sees that men are variously constituted, are at different points in their spiritual evolution, and must, of necessity, think and act differently. Having put away hatred, condemnation, egotism, and prejudice he has become enlightened, and sees that purity, love, compassion, gentleness, patience, humility, and unselfishness are manifestations of light and knowledge: while impurity, hatred. cruelty, passion, anger, pride, and selfishness are manifestations of darkness and ignorance; and that whether men are living in light or darkness they are one and all doing that which they think is necessary. are acting in accordance with their own measure of light or darkness. The wise man understands. and understanding. he ceases from all bitterness and accusation."
