And when it comes to spiritual things, it is therefore that success before the crowd is not always the sign of spiritual progress. Besides, what is approved by the crowd to be something beautiful is not necessarily beautiful. What is approved by the crowd to be something most valuable may not be so valuable. If it is considered by the crowd that it is something good, it may not be good. Or what is considered great by the crowd, it may not be great, and yet it has the appearance of being great, because the crowd calls it great. But what the crowd holds does not remain long. Remember the day when the Kaiser was esteemed high. Can you imagine the belief of the people that day? Numberless souls were ready to give their lives for him.
