SIMPLICITYThe great things of life are unadorned. The ages declare the greatness of men who walked humbly and quietly, and who were so absorbed in a life of well-doing that they never had an idle moment to reflect upon history's evaluation. The tallest monument erected to a false greatness reveals only the monument, while a rough slab, lonely in its appearance, may loom as an imposing symbol if it bears the name of one who lived such a life that only time could transform such an obscure existence into everlasting greatness. Great truths are expressed in simple words. Let ceremonies and superstitions enter and the simplicity of Love, the very essence of Religion, is lost. With its disappearance all semblance of True Religion is gone. Speak of perfection and infallibility and the human touch is withdrawn. Who can point out the great citizens of today? Are the great of today the ones whose autographs are sought? No, the great of today are the men whose autographs will be sought by future generations. Today we do not know their names. And there are untold thousands whose greatness will never be known by man. They are the simple, honest men, unknown and unheralded, whose hearts are attuned to the Great Heart of the Universe. |
