________________ Twin-Life As the bird has two wings, so has man two lives. As the bird can range over the expanse of the sky with its twin wings, so can man with his twin-life cross the boundless ocean of existence. The twin-life of man implies his metaphysical being on the one hand and his material existence on the other. Thoughts emanating from the inner being constitute the metaphysical life, whereas actions spurting forth from the foreground of thoughts make for his material existence! Now, how can the material life of actions be healthy, if the metaphysical life of thoughts be rotten at the core? Thus it is that the great seers continually commend the cultivation of an ennobled life of the mind! Manly Endeavour Means are for the soul, not indeed, the soul for the means. To cast off courageously those means which stand as impediments to the larger development of our being, calls for a manly endeavour, indeed! . 89
