The Fruits of the Spirit
"It isn't the great things... It is just being kind, just being gentle, just being patient...."
Edgar Cayce stated that the ways of man are via power whereas the ways of God are via the Fruits of the Spirit. These are consistent with the biblical "Meek inheriting the Earth" idiom and the eastern Seva concept.
