While truth, when contemplated as a totality, is so vast as to transcend man’s ability to grasp it in all its fullness and glory, there are, nevertheless, individual truths, sparks from the great All-truth, quite within the range of his mental vision, which, if discovered and obeyed, will light his pathway through the world and make his life successful and happy.
