Excerpt from CW. Vol 4

What good is it, if we acknowledge in our prayers that God is the
Father of us all, and in our daily lives do not treat every man as our
brother? Books are only made so that they may point the way to a
higher life; but no good results unless the path is trodden with
unflinching steps! Every human personality may be compared to a glass
globe. There is the same pure white light — an emission of the divine
Being — in the centre of each, but the glass being of different
colours and thickness, the rays assume diverse aspects in the
transmission. The equality and beauty of each central flame is the
same, and the apparent inequality is only in the imperfection of the
temporal instrument of its expression. As we rise higher and higher in
the scale of being, the medium becomes more and more translucent.
