It has been rightly said: "Pleasure is a sense of moreness."
Every time you feel pleasure, you will find the word "moreness"
covers the case. It will cover the lowest condition of pleasure,
the pleasure of eating.
You are becoming more by appropriating to yourself a part of the
Not-Self, food. You will find it true of the highest condition
of bliss, union with the Supreme. You become more by expanding
yourself to His infinity.
When you have a phrase that can be applied to the lowest and
highest with which you are dealing, you may be fairly sure it is
all inclusive, and that, therefore, "pleasure is moreness" is a
true statement. Similarly, pain is "lessness".
If you understand these things your philosophy of life will
become more practical, and you will be able to help more
effectively people who fall into evil ways. Take drink. The real
