________________ The Peak of Religion To reach the peak of religion, you will have to mount the steep stairs of self-restraint and compassion, of austerity and human service. Then alone can the summit of religion be confidently scaled! Opportunity Don’t sit idle, awaiting an opportunity to descend upon you if you have an implicit faith in the final validity of your view. Opportunity cannot come your way so easily; you have to create an opportunity for yourself. Even a slight opportunity can turn into a promising one, if your vision is imbued with a probity of purpose. Many an important figure waiting for opportunities to descend upon him, has passed away, wailing and moaning from this world without performing a single eminent act in all his career. Heroic souls are those who carry out their appointed tasks with enthusiasm, regarding each moment of their life as an opportunity in itself. Such gallant hosts will embrace death itself with a smile on their face, having illumined each instant of their life with radiance bright.
