By whatever basis human desires are classified, the promise of an abundant life covers virtually all. To the spiritual it suggests escape from futility to the sensuous it calls up visions of luxury to the defeated it is a dream of success. To the idle it pledges ease to the weary, rest to the frightened it means safety to the anxious, security and to the improvident it conjures inexhaustible resources. Persuade a man that you can give him the thing he most desires and you will be his hero offer him justification for his failures and he will be your disciple assure him a boundless supply of 'loaves and fishes' and he will seek to make you king.
