The second is that the life of self-realisation is, from first to last, a life of self-expression, and that self-expression and perception are the face and obverse of the same mental effort.
If the life of self-realisation did not provide for the growth of the self in its totality, the self as a living whole, it would not be worthy of its name.

One-sided growth, inharmonious growth, growth in which some faculties are hypertrophied and others atrophied, is not self-realisation.

When trees are planted close together, as in the beech-forests of the Continent, they climb to great heights in their struggle for air and light, but they make no lateral growth.

When trees are pollarded, they make abundant lateral growth, but they cease to climb upward.

When trees are exposed to the prevailing winds of an open sea-coast, they are blown over away from the sea, and make all their growth, such as it is, on the landward side.
