THE SCIENCE OF RELIGION

He who has attained to the superior stage of Bliss-consciousness will feel the world to be a stage and play out his part as best he can, feeling it as such, remembering the Great Stage Manager (God), and knowing and feeling His nature in its every aspect—His plan and direction.



Note.—The derivation of the word “religion” from religare, to bind (see page 10) has been adopted by St. Augustine, Lactantius, Lucretius, and Servius. (See Enc. Brit., 11th Edition.)
