________________ Blithe Spirit Some say, the dance of a peacock, the full-moon night of autumn, the spreading bank of the river, the verdant woods, the lofty peaks of the Himalayas, the cooings of the cuckoo, the blossoming dawn of the lovely Aurora, the smiling rose fresh-blownall these delight man's soul. But my experience tells me that this is only a half-truth. If the mind is not blithe, all these beauteous objects strike a pang in the heart such as even the most sordid things of the world cannot impart! Filth and Water Consider only this much when a righteous person feels like competing with a vicious mind: Who will be the loser if there is a fight between filth and water: Only the water! What has filth to lose? Can filth ever be refined: The lucid water will have only to lose in that situation!
