What is the path of wisdom?

All this is done for you—

Flowers blossoming in beauty and fragrance—the forests and fields clothed in variegated tints—the life-giving, refreshing waters welcomed by the thirsty land—the cooling, strength-imparting breezes—the stones, which form our homes and the metals, which supply us with tools—the precious stones that bedeck the crown of the monarch—these, and a thousand beside, are your gifts.

You are a child of Infinite Intelligence—be mindful of your great origin. Why should you take up with the fleeting sensual pleasures of earth—you, the offspring of the Eternal Spirit?

Thrust these aside, as things beneath your dignity, and walk in the paths of wisdom. Strive to obtain knowledge, for that is a treasure that can never be taken away from you.
