Happiness is not the goal of life, nor is enjoyment. Those that hunt for it never get it. God is the goal of life. Realising Him we realise happiness. "Such is the power of good that even the least done brings the greatest results." Obey God, serve men. Before you have gone far in this vast path, peace will fold its wings around you. Fear will drop away. Worry will be known no more. Therefore train yourself to serve others, if only one soul. If you have a father, a mother, or some one else depending upon you, serve them with whole-hearted zeal. Care not for gratitude, friend;-that is their business. If you are in earnest-and the mere fact of your reading Yoga proves that you are on the Higher Path-you will force yourself to be unselfish. In a short time your Higher Nature will assert itself and it will become your second Nature. Let us learn to forget our troubles as soon as possible, for these are not permanent. "Shattered be Self, Life and Hope. I will try my humble best to Mp others with body, brain, and soul;" let that be your brave cry. I am with you in this and so are thousands of others. Each man is a channel for the expression of God's truths. As we evolve from within outwards we conform ourselves to the reception of certain gifts. Each man is a power in himself. We have to rise to our best each time we call truths out. They exist in us potentially and are ever seeking an outlet for right expression.
