Excerpt from Conscience and Law: Or Principles of Human Conduct Man has been so made as to be capable of having a threefold knowledge - a knowledge of himself, a knowledge of his fellow-creatures, and a knowledge of his Maker. Every human being has a mind, and every human being knows that he has a mind. He knows that his mind is made for knowledge. The human mind craves for knowledge. With possession of knowledge the mind is satisfied. The craving ceases when knowledge is had with certainty. The mind is then at rest. Through knowledge of the true the human mind is intellectually perfected. Knowledge nevertheless exists in man's mind not merely in order to man's intellectual perfection, but in order also to the action of knowledge on another power of man's soul. Every human being has a will, and every human being knows that he has a will. This will is of itself a blind power. It requires enlightenment from a source outside itself. This is derived to it from the mind, or the intellectual and rational power of man's soul. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
