Excerpt from book: It is not blessedness to know that thou thyself art bless'd, True joy was never yet by one, nor yet by two, possess'd. Nor to the many is it given, but only to the all, The joy that leaves one heart unbhss'd woula be for mint too small; For when my spirit most was bless'd, to know another griev'd Would take away the joy from all that I myself received. Nor would I seek to blunt that pain, forgetting others' woe; From knowledge, not from want of thought, true blessedness must grow. For blessedness I find this earth of ours is then no place, Where still the happiest man must meet his brother's grieving face. And only in one thought I find a joy I never miss, In faith to know all grief below will grow to final bliss. And he who holds this faith will strive with firm and ardent soul, To work out his own proper good in working for the whole. God only sees this perfect good1, the way to it is dim; God only then is truly blest, man only blest in Him. Riickerfs Wisdom of the Brahmins.
