The Gift

When a man or a woman has a spiritual awakening,
the most important meaning of it
is that he has now become able to do, feel,
and believe that which he could not do before . . .
He has been granted a gift which amounts
to a new state of consciousness and being.
He has been set on a path which tells him
he is really going somewhere,
that life is not a dead end . . .
He finds himself in possession of a degree of honesty,
tolerance, unselfishness, peace of mind, and love
of which he had thought himself quite incapable.
