<h2><SPAN name="page157"></SPAN><span class="pagenum"></span>CONSCIOUSNESS</h2>
<p class="poetry">God, what a glory, is this consciousness,<br/>
Of life on life, that comes to those who seek!<br/>
Nor would I, if I might, to others speak,<br/>
The fulness of that knowledge. It can bless,<br/>
Only the eager souls, that willing, press<br/>
Along the mountain passes, to the peak.<br/>
Not to the dull, the doubting, or the weak,<br/>
Will Truth explain, or Mystery confess.</p>
<p class="poetry">Not to the curious or impatient soul<br/>
That in the start, demands the end be shown,<br/>
And at each step, stops waiting for a sign;<br/>
But to the tireless toiler toward the goal,<br/>
Shall the great miracles of God be known<br/>
And life revealed, immortal and divine.</p>
