---

The sage who works for the good of humanity must respect his own definition of good and his own knowledge of the best way to work. Otherwise, he would be no better than the social reformer, the statesman, the clergyman, and the moralist--he would have only an intellectual or emotional understanding of life, and not a mystical and integral one.
