I looked around upon the world, and saw that it was shadowed by

sorrow and scorched by the fierce fires of suffering. And I looked for

the cause. I looked around, but could not find it. I looked in books,

but could not find it. I looked within, and found there both the

cause and the self-made nature of that cause. I looked again, and

deeper, and found the remedy. I found one Law, the Law of Love;

one Life, the Life of adjustment to that Law; one Truth, the Truth of

a conquered mind and a quiet and obedient heart. And I dreamed of

writing a book which should help men and women, whether rich or

poor, learned or unlearned, worldly or unworldly, to find within

themselves the source of all success, all happiness, all

accomplishment, all truth. And the dream remained with me, and

at last became substantial; and now I send it forth into the world on

its mission of healing and blessedness, knowing that it cannot fail

to reach the homes and hearts of those who are waiting and ready

to receive it.
