The Misery We Inflict On Sentient Beings

Meditation Means This Opening Out Of The Soul To The Divine And Letting The Divine Shine In Without Obstruction From The Personal Self. Therefore It Means Renunciation. It Means Throwing Away Everything That One Has, And Waiting Empty For The Light To Come In.

Control Of The Tongue! Vital For The Man Who Would Try To Tread The Path, For No Harsh Or Unkind Word, No Hasty Impatient Phrase, May Escape From The Tongue Which Is Consecrated To Service, And Which Must Not Injure Even An Enemy; For That Which Wounds Has No Place In The Kingdom Of Love.

When We Realise Our Oneness With Our Ruler, Then The Matter Shall Have No Longer Power Over Us, And We Shall See It As The Unreality It Is.
