Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Dhamapada or the Path of Righteousness
Love is the parent, who knows and sees that we are all and each the outcome of individual evolutions, and that the least will, in time, take the place of the greatest when that plan has been worked out through the instrumentality of that Supreme Cause of Evolution, that works from Good to Better, then to Best; that knows neither Right nor Wrong, sin nor virtue, life nor death, for are they not the arms by which we the Higher reach and Freedom win.
Riches rightly belong to those who riches win, and, whether they belong to earth or heaven, they but form degrees of comparison wherein we may value each and all. Each re mains true to the plan of its action. Each will outgrow the values that have been placed upon its wares, for what we value as youths we do not value as men, and what we value here we shall not value there. For what is the changeless cannot be valued by the changeable, and it is only when we can embrace the inclusive that we can measure the exclusive.
With these brief notes, I sincerely hope that they may be the means of guiding my readers from the dead letters of the Law into the ever living Spirit of Progress, which surely winds its way into the Boundless Sea forever and for ever.
