Excerpt from The Great Charter of Christ: Being Studies in the Sermon on the Mount None can look on God's face and live. We know in part. Happiness is not in knowledge." Then there was silence while the young mans eyes recovered. And then said the Prophet, "Look once more, but look not on the heaven but on the earth." And the young man looked - and was glad, for meadow, stream, and hill were bathed in happy sunlight. And the Prophet said, "What seest thou of heaven?" And the youth answered, "I see the sunlight everywhere." Then said the Prophet, "Be content. Mind not high things. Seek not to know mysteries. But seek goodness, purity, righteousness, and kindness, and thou shalt see Gods sunlight everywhere, and thou shalt find happiness within. Herein is the blessing of the Lord, that a man be satisfied in righteousness." Then the youths left the Prophet: and, as they journeyed to their city again, he that had sought to know mysteries said: "I remember that it is written, 'In Thy light shall we see light.'" And the other, who had sought happiness in pleasure, made answer: "I, too, remember One who said, 'I am the Door. By me if any man enter in he shall be saved.'"
