Heaven is harmony. Harmony exists where there is a demand for every right supply and supply for every just demand.
It is just as imperative that there be an energetic demand as it is that there should be supply. One without the other still leaves us short of Heaven—Harmony.
If we do not accept anything short of perfection, we gain that perfection.
To be rich we must lose the sense that we have something apart from God.
If Heaven is Harmony, hell is discord. All discord comes from the material sense.
The material senses are the bottomless pit, which never can be filled—never be satisfied—never contented.
Yet nerve thy spirit to the proof, and blench not at thy
chosen lot;
The timid good may stand aloof, the sage may frown,—
yet faint thou not;
Nor heed the shaft too surely cast, the foul and hissing
bolt of scorn;
For with thy side shall dwell, at last, the victory of endurance born.—
