The article "Let Spirit be the Standard" by Leo Virgo discusses the importance of maintaining a spiritual standard and not compromising with the world's ideas. It emphasizes that God is the within, looking through "I AM" to the without, and that man in his true estate is just "I AM", differentiating the potentialities of Being. However, man often loses his head and becomes bewildered by the greatness of his creations, forgetting the all-potential, invisible side of Being and turning to the animate world of fleeting forms. The article urges readers to sustain their spiritual standard, think thoughts and speak words that correspond to the Divine Estate, and do things that are the legitimate offspring of those thoughts and words, requiring constant watching of the sense consciousness to avoid being led astray.
