124. Large as Life
It is not given to man, especially the common man, to rise to the full stature of life whether it is social or human, not to speak of Life in general or Nature that includes life as its part. Education widens the horizons of his mind, while travel and experience enlarge his personality. Advancing society compels him, though gently, to rise to greater heights of personality. Only the explorer, the leader, the pioneer, those who court danger and adventure reach a wider dimension of life, if only for a short period.
The Spirit surfacing on personal life expands the scope of Man's existence to the borders of social and human lives and goes beyond. In fact, the Spirit opens up vistas beyond Nature to the narrow mental life of the social man hedged in the confines of his moral conception.
As life in the twentieth century cannot disregard electricity or oil, etc, human life in the twenty first century has a lot to benefit by letting the Spirit rule. It is not a difference in degree but one in the very basic dimension of existence. Spirit enables Man to grow as large as life in his own sphere.
