   Live loyally today—grow—and tomorrow

   will attend to itself. The quickest way for

   a tadpole to become a frog is to live loyally

   each moment as a tadpole

   Religion cannot be bestowed, received,

   loaned, learned or lost. It is a personal

   experience which grows proportionally

   to the growing quest for final values.

   Spiritual growth is first

   an awakening to needs,

   next a discernment of meanings,

   and then a discovery of values

   …spirit born individuals

   are so re-motivated in life

   that they can calmly stand by

   while their fondest ambitions perish

   and their keenest hopes crash…

   Religion is not a technique for attaining

   a static and blissful peace of mind; 

   it is an impulse for organising the soul

   for dynamic service

   Love thus grows;

   it cannot be created,

   manufactured, or purchased;

   it must grow

   New meanings only emerge

   amid conflict; and conflict persists

   only in the face of refusal to espouse

   the higher values connoted

   in superior meanings

   Religious perplexities

   are inevitable; there can be

   no growth without psychic conflict

   and spiritual agitation

   If you love your fellow men,

   you must have discovered their values.

   Jesus loved men so much

   because he placed

   such a high value upon them

    If someone irritates you,

    causes feelings of resentment,

    you should sympathetically seek

    to discern his viewpoint,

    his reasons for such objectionable conduct

    If you once understand your neighbour,

    you will become tolerant, and this

    tolerance will grow into friendship

    and ripen into love
