What marvellous water!
What wonderful air!
Purity!
Purity!
No impurity can remain for an instant in this air.
Nothing decays―
Nothing tarnishes―or disfigures―or mars the universal purity―or beauty.
As fast as fruit ripens and falls, all that is not immediately gathered evaporates―not even the seed.
No shadow of dust―no taint of decay on fruit―or flower―everything perfect―everything pure.
You are building for eternity during your earthly life, and every gentle word―every generous thought―every unselfish deed―will become a pillar of eternal beauty in the life to come.
You cannot be selfish and unloving in one life and generous and loving in the next―
The two lives are too closely blended―
One is the continuation of the other.
You bring into this life the same tastes―same desires―same knowledge―you had before death.
You have nothing to dread―nothing to fear.
No fear―or harm―or danger―
No dread of ill―or anxiety lest a mishap occur―
Security―security and joy and peace!
This is the blessed life.
