True devotion to Deity is the obedience of all the laws of His nature

True devotion to Deity, of the developed mind, is the obedience of all the laws of His nature.

Man is the bud, which will go on unfolding its powers until it reaches the throne of the Omnipotent Mind

The perfected spirit is the end of creative Nature. For it, the gaseous ocean of the beginning existed; for it, the igneous ball rolled through the vast space for ages; for it, one form of life after another came, type following type, and degree succeeding degree in endless mutations. Man is the bud, the spirit, the unfolding flower of Nature, which will go on unfolding its powers until it reaches the throne of the Omnipotent Mind.

Man is an animalcule on the earth

You look on the earth as a huge ball but, when standing far away on the fixed stars, the whole solar system, the sun, planets, satellites and eomets, appear not as large as the mite in the sunbeams! You look on man as the ultimate of creation; yet there are angels beside whom he would appear far more insignificant than the Patagonian savage beside the intelligent European philosopher. Man is an animalcule on the earth, which is itself but an atom of the universe. There is a vast void between the animalcule in the drop of water and a solar system; yet a greater difference exists between the wisdom of man and the Infinite Wisdom beyond.

I am almost at the end of the race for wisdom. Foolish thought, when the wisdom of the Infinite God is all beyond.
