self assigns an end to my action; the same inward power
that compels me to think that I ought to act thus, compels
me also to believe that from my action some result will
arise; it opens to my spiritual vision a prospect into another
world,--which is really a world, a state, namely, and not an
action,--but another and better world than that which is pre-
sent to the
physical
eye; it constrains me to aspire after this
better world, to embrace it with every power, to long for its
realization, to live only in it, and in it alone find satisfaction.
