Meaning of “he who, forgetting self, makes the object of…”
Trine makes service a life-purpose and predicts personal enlargement through it, connecting outward usefulness with an increasingly generous and developed character.
Where does it come from?
What All The World’s A-Seeking, Part I, “The Principle,” printed page 29 in the represented 1896 page-text witness, cross-checked against Project Gutenberg #14312. Trine argues that a person who forgets self in service, helpfulness and kindliness finds the self “growing and expanding.” This remains historical conduct-of-life / New Thought moral argument rather than a guaranteed psychological outcome from service.
