Children are living beings - more living than grown-up people who have built shells of habit around themselves. Therefore it is absolutely necessary for their mental health and development that they should not have mere schools for their lessons, but a world whose guiding spirit is personal love. By plucking her petals, you do not gather the beauty of the flower. Bigotry tries to keep truth safe in its hand with a grip that kills it. Beauty is truth's smile when she beholds her own face in a perfect mirror. Do not say, "It is morning," and dismiss it with a name of yesterday. See it for the first time as a new-born child that has no name. Asks the Possible of the Impossible, "Where is your dwelling-place?" "In the dreams of the Impotent," comes the answer. Every child comes with the message that God is not yet discouraged of humanity. According to the true Indian view, our consciousness of the world, merely as the sum total of things that exist, and as governed by laws, is imperfect. But it is perfect when our consciousness realizes all things as spiritually one with it, and therefore capable of giving us joy. For us the highest purpose of this world is not merely living in it, knowing it and making use of it, but realizing our own selves in it through expansion of sympathy; not alienating ourselves from it and dominating it, but comprehending and uniting it with ourselves in perfect union. A mind all logic is like a knife all blade. It makes the hand bleed that uses it. A dewdrop is a perfect integrity that has no filial memory of its parentage. |
