The words, laying lifeless on the pages of your bible are meaningless. Your bible itself, lying there on your coffee table is no more than an unremarkable collection of ink and paper. But when those same words are lifted off the dry and dusty pages, and made real by the personal experience of the believing human, something remarkable happens.
Religion comes to life in the mind, and is manifested to the world by the words and deeds of the religionist. Religion is made increasingly real to the believer by the successive spiritual insights of the mind of that same believer. In the last analysis, religion is nothing more than the attempt of the believer to find god, to know god, and to attempt to do the will of god.
Live the religious life! Become that beacon of love and goodness which will draw all men, believer and unbeliever to yourself. Unleash the words from those dry pages and bring them to life in your heart. Change the world, and yourself, by the technique of one additional spiritual insight, and one act of loving kindness, at a time.
