ABSTRACT
UNDERLYING every one of our actions is a desire. Though we are often unaware of its existence, a desire nevertheless is there, and when we perceive it, we call it a wish. If we undertake some activity in a good spirit, it is because our wishes are in accord with it. If, on the other hand, we approach a duty in a mean spirit, our state of mind is: "I shall do this thing because I feel compelled to, not because I wish to," and the probability is it will be done poorly. Our spirit is thus really our wish. It is more important to our body health than you can imagine, to do things in the right spirit, that is, to wish to do the things which each hour of the day it is right we should do.
