There is a more beautyful universe than that which you know as the outer World. It is the inner universe.

It is the World within your own soul. You may call it Human life, or personal being, or humanity. It is the universe of Human existence.

Why is Human existence what it is? Is there some great reason for Human characteristics and Human structure?

Why is man constituted exactly as he is? If he grew to be what he is, why was he so constituted as to grow into exactly what he is?

The answer to these questions can not be found plunging into metaphysics or psychology. Those questions are not broad and simple.

The answer is to be gotten rather by standing off and looking at Human life in its most obvious, everyday aspects. Human life, personal life, consists entirely of people, of persons.

Suppose that you come to know this person well. You talk with him. You become intimate with him.

He tells you his thoughts and feelings. You learn to know why he acts and speaks as he does. You understand his sources of action.

Now you say that you know him so well that you know his very nature. You know him as he touches you, as his life comes in contact with your life, and influences you, and impresses you.

Three factors in personal Human life, the person, the nature, the personality, are what a person is.

They are not three things that he does. They are not mainly three ways in which he acts. When he is not acting he is these three.

The person is what one is. One’s nature is what one is. One’s personality is what one is. One’s inner universe is what one is.
