pushing society. Nor are we
urging our own life forward in a wilful way. We are taking the pace at
which the universe is going, content to let God take His own time. We desire
above all that His will, not ours, shall be done. Thus we move out
from the deep centre of consciousness
to measured deeds of expression, service, love. This is not only the secret
of health but the secret of wise life as a whole. All the friction is worthwhile
which leads the way to this splendid result.
The whole of life is an adjustment
to forces which
play upon us from outside and the resistance which they meet within.
Our inner life is not only a
duality of lower and higher, but each inner contrast corresponds to an
outer condition. We are like spheres whose surfaces present varying combinations.
We start out in life, ignorant of our many-sidedness.
Now we brush against this person, now against that one. Friction results
where we dislike, harmony where we like. We are inclined to choose only
the pleasant, but in due
time we learn that the greatest growth sometimes comes from the mastery
of dislikes and frictions. Even when we draw closer to those we love
there is friction, till we learn to bear and forbear. If on one side of
my social sphere I am too easily influenced, I may by taking thought
overcome my weakness and grow strong. If on another side I use pressure,
I must substitute love.
