8 ASSISTANCE

Lean on no mortal, Love, and serve;

(For service is love's complement)

But it was never God's intent,

Your spirit from its path should swerve,

To gain another's point of view.

As well might Jupiter, or Mars

Go seeking help from other stars,

Instead of sweeping ON, as you.

Look to the Great Eternal Cause

And not to any man, for light.

Look in; and learn the wrong, and right,

From your own soul's unwritten laws.

And when you question, or demur,

Let Love be your Interpreter.
