THE POWER OF KARMA can read the signatures of created things, decipher their character, and cognize their essence. They can harmonize and blend the four elements of carth, air, fire, and water into the one quintessence combining all in perfect equilibrium. They live in love and unity, for they are at one with the Principle of Love, and they have entered the Kingdom of God.
“With that, this HERMITE tooke me by the hand and ledd me to his cell ; Loe here (quoth he) could'st thou but stay, and truly understand what thou now scest, thou know'st this Mystery.
I stayd, I saw, I tryde, and understood, A Heav'n on Earth, an everlasting good.”
THE HERMIT'S TALE,
