easy. Alone on a mountainside one day, an inner voice said,
‘To make whole, be whole’. He realized that, before being of
help to others, he first had to work on himself. Once back in
England, he looked for and found a source of meditation,
which opened up a whole new way of seeing:

That the sun is obscured when clouds pass by,
With this natural fact I’ll endeavour to show Wonders
How the problems of life can diminish and go.
For problems arise when we take by mistake, of Spiritual

It’s there from our birth, and it’s what a man is.

awareness of the ‘sun’ within.
