We cannot all be Buddhas. We may not all have the strength to live like Christ. Only one in a million may be even a Himalayan yogi living alone and above us in his cave high up on the rugged mountain. But something worthwhile is within reach of all of us. Let us therefore aim at the immediately practicable, which in its turn will lead to something more. It is foolish to waste time and strength unavailingly grasping for what is out of reach.
