, giving unto all that will receive.
Blessings are offered unto all My children, but many times in their
blindness they fail to see them. How few there are who gather the gifts
which lie in profusion at their feet: how many there are, who, in wilful
waywardness, turn their eyes away from them and complain with a wail
that they have not that which I have given them; many of them defiantly

blessings and the Author of their being._ KRISHNA.

Thus it went on everywhere. The recognition that love represents the
highest morality was nowhere denied or contradicted, but this truth was
so interwoven everywhere with all kinds of falsehoods which distorted
it, that finally nothing of it remained but words. It was taught that
this highest morality was only applicable to private life--for home
use, as it were--but that in public life all forms of violence--such as
imprisonment, executions, and wars--might be used for the protection
of the majority against a minority of evildoers, though such means were
diametrically opposed to any vestige of love. And though common sense
indicated that if some men claim to decide who is to be subjected to
violence of all kinds for the benefit of others, these men to whom
