48. The Wellspring
The Lines
1. [6] A man who gives over his life to unworthy endeavors
becomes worthless to himself and others. His existence means little to others,
and thence to himself. Everyone avoids him.
2. [9] If a man has good potential but neglects his
development, he is hardly better than the man who throws his life away. His
life may be of some minimal value, but his negligence only means that his
potential is never fully realized.
3. [9] A good man may work on his own development with
diligence, but still not be recognized and be of benefit to his fellow men.
This is a reproach to those in positions of leadership whose duty it is to see
that the nation benefits from the talents of its best men.
4. [6] In the course of a man's development, it may be that
a man must withdraw from involvement with others and work on himself. At such
times, he may seem to be of little use to anyone else. But such time-off is
necessary in order to be of even greater service later on.
5. [9] A man may be a truly great man, but little
recognized. He has much to offer, but somehow no one comes to draw from him of
his generous offerings. Therefore, it is essential that mankind seek out those
who are wise in their midst and make the effort to reap the benefits they have
to offer. Such a man will not force himself upon others; others must go to him.
6. [6] The sources of wisdom in our midst are available for
the benefit of all the people. True wisdom is inexhaustible, and only
increases, the more it is tapped. It is an expression of wisdom to recognize
wisdom, to open oneself thereto and to be enriched thereby. Doing this is a
responsibility we all have
