Question—How may we determine whether we are working spiritually or mentally, since the Spirit must work through the mind?

ANSWER—Our work should be in accord with the unitary wholeness and goodness, it should always be constructive, dealing with the highest values and it should desire nothing for itself which it d0es n0t desire for others. With this as a criterion, no one need fear the result of his work.

EGOISM AND EGOTISM EXPLAINED
Question—Explain the difference between the egoist and the egotist.

ANSWER—An egoist is one who recognizes the real self as an individualization of the universe. Three great examples have been Jesus, Walt Whitman and Emerson. Different from egoism, egotism compares the self to others to the advantage of the individual. Men like Caesar, Napoleon, Louis of France, etc., are egotists. True egoism is a sense of spiritual individuality.
