Excerpt from Spiritual Values
The real values of life are spiritual. Every age seems to be materialistic in tendency. But this is an indication on the surface and does not represent the deeper conditions of human striving. Each era of civilization has had its ebb and flow of spiritual endeavor. But there have always been heroic souls in every step of progress who stemmed the onrush of the materialistic. The flood-tide of faith has always returned. On this tide peoples and nations have gone forward.
So in the individual life there is the fluctuation of spiritual desire and effort. It would seem at times that individual men had a surfeit of spirituality and deliberately turned to the materialistic. But the sea of faith in the human soul does not go out forever. It returns. And on the full ocean of the spiritual man really rides.
