Evil is an experience, and not a power.
THE painful experiences of evil pass away as the new experiences of good enter into and possess the field of consciousness. And what are the new experiences of good ? They are many and beautiful—such as the joyful knowledge of freedom from sin ; the absence of remorse ; deliverance from all the torments of temptation ; ineffable joy in conditions and circumstances which formerly caused deep affliction ; imperviousness to hurt by the actions of others ; great patience and sweetness of character ; serenity of mind under all circumstances ; emancipation from doubt, fear, and anxiety ; freedom from all dislike, envy, and enmity.
Evil is a state of ignorance, of undevelopment, and as such it recedes and disappears before the light of knowledge.
There is no difficulty, however great, but
will yield before a calm and powerful
concentration of thought, and no
legitimate object but may be speedily
actualized by the intelligent use and
direction of one’s soul forces.
Whatever your task may be,
concentrate your whole mind upon it;
throw into it all the energy of which you
are capable. The faultless completion of
small tasks, leads inevitably to larger tasks.
See to it that you rise by steady
climbing, and you will never fall.
He who knows that Love is at the heart of
all things, and has realized the all-sufficing
power of that Love, has no room in his
heart for condemnation.
If you love people and speak of them
with praise, until they in some way
thwart you, or do something of which
you disapprove, and then you dislike them
and speak of them with dispraise, you are
not governed by the Love which is of God.
If, in your heart, you are continually
arraigning and condemning others,
selfless love is hidden from you.
Train your mind in strong, impartial,
and gentle thought; train your heart in
purity and compassion; train your tongue
to silence, and to true and stainless speech;
so shall you enter the way of holiness and
peace, and shall ultimately realize the
immortal Love.
