Awakening

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
on his unaided strengths and resources alone.
He has been granted a gift which amounts
to a new state of consciousness and being. . .
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.
What he has received is a free gift . . .
