As is your Consciousness, therefore, so is your 'I'. As is your 'I', so is your world.
If it be clear and definite of meaning, your world is clear and definite of meaning; and then your words should never be a maze; nor should your deeds be ever nests of pain.
If it be hazy and uncertain, your world is hazy and uncertain; and then your words are but entanglements; and then your deeds are hatcheries of pain.
If it be constant and enduring, your world is constant and enduring; then are you mightier than Time, and much more spacious than Space.
It it be passing and inconstant, your world is passing and inconstant; and then are you a wisp of smoke breathed upon lightly by the sun.
If it be one, your world is one; and then are you at everlasting peace with all the hosts of heaven and the tenants of the Earth. If it be many, your world is many; and then are you at an unending war with your very self and every creature in God's imcompassable domain.
'I' is the centre of your life whence radiate the things that make the total of your world, and whereunto they converge.
If it be steady, your world is steady; then no powers above and no powers below can sway you right or left.
If it be shifting, your world is shifting and then are you a helpless leaf caught in an angry whirl of wind.
