Can you tell us what life is?

Life stands out and away from all argument, as an ever-present truth, always manifesting its own truth.

You know nothing at all about it, except that it is.

What you believe is that life is the gift of God, the one perfect gift among many perfect gifts, which you may enjoy without even understanding.

You are asking questions, not even we, who are here can answer.

Perhaps farther on in our eternal life and activity we may know, but now, creation, infinity, eternity, from everlasting to everlasting―why? by whom? how?―these are questions, which have remained without answer for unknown ages.

Be content to wonder, to live, to enjoy, to serve.

Let the higher knowledge remain to lure you on to higher efficiency and greater wisdom.

You live a life, but do not solve its mystery.

There is a Power beyond, a great, kind Power.

Of this, we are sure, more sure than ever in mortal life. We know that, for us to be true, pure, unselfish, loving and helpful leads us toward that Power.

I am speaking now of what we on this lower plane perceive. Do not think for an instant that knowledge is limited to this lower plane.

Life and knowledge are progressive.

You cannot begin here above what you had prepared yurselvesf for in your mortal life.

But the blessed law of progress is ours, always stimulating us to new endeavour and new happiness. Every moment fills us with joy.

We live―we love―we serve. Is this not enough?
