Man: King of Mind, Body and Circumstance (1911)

The problem of life consists in learning how to live. It is like the problem of addition or subtraction to the schoolboy. When mastered, all difficulty vanishes, and the problem has vanished. All the problems of life, whether they be social, political or religious, subsist in ignorance & wrongdoing. As men learn to live rightly, learn to direct their forces & use their functions & faculties by the light of wisdom, the sum of life will be correctly done, and its mastery will put an end to all the problems of evil. To the wise, all such problems have ceased.
