Self control and spiritual endeavor is the only ray of hope ...

Man's mind is too full of the world and desires demand too much of his time and energy. Engrossed in the analysis of the material world, he has lost all sense of sweetness and sublimity and truth has become just another word in the dictionary. Humility, patience and reverence have become irrelevant. The only ray of hope in this enveloping gloom of fear, hatred and persecution, is the Peace that one can win through self-control and spiritual endeavor. That Peace will pervade and purify the inner consciousness as well as the outer atmosphere.
