Why shall we not rest satisfied with eating, drinking, and doing a little good to society? This idea is in the air.
From the most learned professor to the prattling baby, we are told, "Do good to the world, that is all of religion, and don't bother your head about questions of the beyond."
So much so is this the case that it has become a truism.
But fortunately we must inquire into the beyond.
This present, this expressed, is only one part of that unexpressed. The sense universe is, as it were, only one portion, one bit of that infinite spiritual universe projected into the plane of sense consciousness.
