Like a drop of oil on water, every individual spreads; he reaches out and far. 'I' seeks other 'I's and seeks to become 'We'. Life is a march from 'I' to 'We'. But, it usually strays from 'I' to 'They'. And does not reach God, the 'We'. Intellect alone can direct man in the path of discrimination, between the true path and false, the proper step and the improper... The reasoning power of man is shaped, not only by the education he receives now, but more by the impact of past lives and the import of future events. If the power is used for self-aggrandizement, it feeds delusion; if it is used in service for others, it promotes the Revelation of Reality. Reason must examine the vagaries of the mind and make patent the Divinity that resides and shines in every individual.
