---

When a man feels the presence of a diviner self within his breast, when he believes that its power protects and provides for him, when he views past errors and future troubles alike with perfect equanimity, he has a better capacity to enjoy life and a truer expression of happiness than those who delight only in ephemeral pleasures and sense satisfactions. For it will endure into times of adversity and last through hours of calamity, where the other will crumble and vanish.
