RELIGION OF THE SOUL
spiritual soul with this form, in order to realize the
necessity of virtues, as the sole worthy power and
rule of religious life.
All complaints pertaining to the inefficiency of
religious teachings arise from the fact that conscience
and virtues are not taught as the real basis of re-
ligion. And where conscience and virtues are not
the first issue in religion, a living faith in God and
love of mankind are impossible.
