Thus
I continue to clash or to harmonise, until on all sides I have touched
the world. Each time the clue to harmony is this duality of inner and outer.
The soul is not independent, not adequate by itself. It must have an environment.
The environment calls out the soul, and the soul contributes to the environment.
Neither one is intelligible without the other.
The essential is a calm, philosophical
view of the situation, so that as we brush against people and
things we will know what this contact means, know that first of all the
result of the relation will depend upon ourselves, but that the personal
self is not all. In all relations we must take the two factors into account,
the inner and the outer. For nothing stands by itself, "nothing is
fair or good alone." The goodness of things, their beauty
is found in relation. Life does not exist for one end alone but
for many, in organic harmony. Life is a discipline of the understanding,
as well as a training ground for the will; a world of the heart and a world
of the head. It is for beauty, truth, expression, society, and many other
ends; and to attain all these one must have manifold interests, and subdivide
one's time. The ideal is the perfect whole, balance, proportion. We must
therefore round out our being, and feel in harmony with, apprehend the
larger whole of the universe. This is the profoundest outcome
