Where things are all adjusted
To maintain the body,
Where a provision against
Unforeseen dangers is kept up
To maintain the life of the mind,
Where an inward reverence
Is cherished to be exhibited
In all intercourse with others --
Where all this is done,
And yet all evils arrive,
They are from the underworld and not
From the men's constitution itself.
Man will not be sufficient
To confound the established virtue
Of his nature, or be admitted
Into the Tower of Intelligence.
That Tower has its alert Guardian,
The Medium, who acts unconsciously
And whose care will not be effective
If there be conscious purpose in it.
If one who has not this entire sincerity
Make any outward demonstration,
Every such demonstration will be incorrect.
The thing will enter into him,
And not let go its hold.
Then with every fresh demonstration
There will be still greater incorrectness.
If one does what is not good
In the light of broad day,
Men will have the opportunity
Of punishing him; if he does it
In darkness and secrecy,
Spirits will inflict the punishment.
Let him first of all understand
His relation both to men and spirits,
And then he will do what is good
In the solitude of his self-nature.
