possible in their present state of development. And since we know that original thinking is the secret of greater things, we must invariably rejoice whenever we discover an individual who has begun to create his own ideas. The fact that his ideas may! differ from our own should not disturb us, because when a mind begins original thinking that mind will become larger and larger, and will ere long gain just as large an understanding of truth as we have, and possibly much larger still in the course of time.

In dealing with people, therefore, our object should not be to persuade them to accept our system of belief. On the contrary, we should try to encourage them in original thinking. We should try to present methods through which they may become so great in mind and soul that they can understand the whole truth for themselves. The mind that becomes larger and larger will know the truth and live the truth without being persuaded by others. Therefore all our efforts for the race should be directed upon the development of larger minds and greater souls. To promote this purpose original thinking along the lines of seeking, finding and knowing the truth is the one great essential. Let people believe what they like for the present, but do your best, by all means, to stimulate the desire in all minds to create their own individual ideas about everything.
