of things will be revealed to us.
The philosophers of Greece--such as Aristotle, Socrates, Plato and
others--were devoted to the investigation of both natural and spiritual
phenomena. In their schools of teaching they discoursed upon the world of
nature as well as the supernatural world. Today the philosophy and logic
of Aristotle are known throughout the world. Because they were interested
in both natural and divine philosophy, furthering the development of the
physical world of mankind as well as the intellectual, they rendered
praiseworthy service to humanity. This was the reason of the triumph and
survival of their teachings and principles. Man should continue both these
lines of research and investigation so that all the human virtues, outer
and inner, may become possible. The attainment of these virtues, both
material and ideal, is conditioned upon intelligent investigation of
reality, by which investigation the sublimity of man and his intellectual
progress is accomplished. Forms must be set aside and renounced; reality
must be sought. We must discover for ourselves where and what reality is.
In religious beliefs nations and peoples today are imitators of ancestors
and forefathers. If a man's father was a Christian, he himself is a
Christian; a Buddhist is the son of a Buddhist, a Zoroastrian of a
Zoroastrian. A gentile or an idolator follows the religious footsteps of
his father and ancestry. This is absolute imitation. The requirement in
this day is that man must independently and impartially investigate every
form of reality.

The great question appertaining to humanity is religion. The first
condition is that man must intelligently investigate its foundations. The
second condition is that he must admit and acknowledge the oneness of the
world of humanity. By this means the attainment of true fellowship among
mankind is assured, and the alienation of races and individuals is
prevented. All must be considered the servants of God; all must recognize
God as the one kind Protector and Creator. In proportion to the
acknowledgment of the oneness and solidarity of mankind, fellowship is
possible, misunderstandings will be removed and reality become apparent.
Then will the light of reality shine forth, and when reality illumines the
world, the happiness of humankind will become a verity. Man must
spiritually perceive that religion has been intended by God to be the
means of grace, the source of life and cause of agreem
