We must be driven and obsessed and extreme and fanatic -- but the driving motive power must be love of God and of Christ and of the Brotherhood and of mankind, and the purpose must be study and self-suppression and service. Most people are ciphers, zeros -- dead and dull and drifting in small selfishness and shallow satisfactions. This can be the case "in the Truth" as well as out of it: it is the natural way, and very pervasive. It is a refreshing relief to see a man driven by a purpose beyond himself, though all purposes but one are perversions of man's true purpose, and lead only to a common grave with the most purposeless of men. It was said of Christ that "he is mad ... that he hath a devil ... he is beside himself" ... "The zeal of Thine House hath eaten me up." He is our example. His singleminded intensity was beyond the comprehension of the careless, common crowd. Brethren Thomas and Roberts were wholly obsessed and absorbed with the love of the knowledge and service of God. This is real living.
