What is life?

The gratitude for life carries with it a question—What is life? and this leads you to a spiritual perception of the truth—that each life, your own particular life, is indissolubly connected with its Source and opens the way for further comprehension of the fact that your real self, your immortal soul, is not a vague spirit from which your present life is disassociated, but a real power, the centre and reason of your being, and it is possible for you to become so familiar with its workings that you may consciously investigate the cause and effect of each act and feeling of your life.
