In Our Ashrams Of East And West, Places Of Spiritual Retreat, We Begin With What We Call "the Morning Of The Open Heart," In Which We Tell Our Needs. . . . We Give Four Or Five Hours To This Catharsis. The Reaction Of One Member, Who Listened To It For The First Time, Was: "good Gracious, Have We All The Disrupted People In The Country Here?" My Reply Was: "no, You Have A Cross Section Of The Church Life Honestly Revealed." In The Ordinary Church, It Is Suppressed By Respectability, By A Desire To A Appear Better Than We Really Are.

Don't Wait For Some Miracle To Be Performed On You From Without, Lifting You Above Your Fears And Doubts And Self-centeredness. You Help God From Within By Turning In Outgoing Love To Others, And Miraculously Your Fears And Doubts And Self-centeredness Will Vanish. The Miracle Starts Within, Not From Without.
