T. By receiving wisdom from superior minds.
C. How may I know who is my superior?
T. By their works. When the work of a mind harmonizes with the law of God in nature, you may know that the doer of that work is your superior.
C. But nature is an incomprehensible volume.
T. It is incomprehensible to those only who do not understand it. It is mysterious to those who have not examined or explored its golden page. It is wise, and what is wise you may learn.
C. Who will aid me?
T. Nature will not leave you without an instructor.
C. That is your opinion, I suppose.
T. It is a fact which I know. I have not come here to teach you opinions, but facts. I see your mind is overstocked already with opinions, and this is the cause of your wrangling in this circle. Minds do not wrangle with each other about facts, which they know; but all wrangling is about things not understood. I have seen your condition, and know the fact which I affirm.
C. This is narrowing to a small compass the circumference of minds. It gives little scope for thought and energy.
