Why bother to clean out the well?

There are certain laws by which we know that Nature, in all its mystic and marvellous diversity, can be harmonised basically. 

It is just so with you. 

First, the thing you are striving to study must show itself to be helpful. 

It must manifest in your character, and above all things, in tolerance, broadness, gentleness and love. 

If it does not, then, although you know there may be, and must be some truth at the bottom of the well, why bother to clean out the well when you have so much that is beautiful and helpful outside of it? 

And you know that in due time all will be made clean if the pure stream of living water is bubbling up in the well. 

All that you need for ongoing help will be brought to you and you will be able to grasp and understand it.
