There is no greater quality in an individual than selfless love, which expresses itself in service to others

People have faith in the results given by scientists of the calculation of planetary distances and sizes. But they hesitate when confronted with conclusions arrived at by investigators who have seen and shown, experienced and enjoyed the Truths by going into the inner space and inner regions of the Spirit. It is unreasonable willfulness that makes people stick to the beliefs they have accepted as unchallengeable. As the statement goes, “The subterranean fire can be grasped in the palm and the sky can be contacted as a concrete entity; but one can never refine the mind of an obtuse and obstinate person." For one can awaken a person who sleeps; one can make a person who is not asleep to rise and move; but one can never awaken a fellow who pretends to be asleep. Willfully avoiding the illumination of knowledge is a sin against spirituality. Our students must welcome light at all times and from all quarters.
