Excerpt from The Standard of Pitch in Religion
As the taut string has its fundamental note, upon which the whole musical gamut is based, so human life must have its fundamental, which becomes a determining factor in all conduct and activities. It is useless to ask which are more essential to the excellency of the musical instrument, its primary or its secondary tones: both are indispensable. Equally empty would be the question, Which is the more important, the cardinal principle of one's life or an irradiation from that principle? Or, Which are the essential elements in success, fundamentals or reduced principles of conduct? We might as pertinently inquire, Which is more necessary, the foundation of a house or the house?
Every life is an entity of complex relationships. We find the utmost difficulty in analyzing ourselves.
