He who would find how good at heart men are, let him throw away all his ideas and suspicions about the " evil " in others, and find and practise the good within himself.
MAN has within him the divine power by which he can rise to the highest heights of spiritual achievement; by which he can shake off sin and shame and sorrow, and do the will of the Father, the Supreme Good ; by which he can conquer all the powers of darkness within, and stand radiant and free ; by which he can subdue the world, and scale the lofty pinnacles of God. This can man, by choice, by resolve, and by his divine strength, accomplish ; but he can only accomplish it in and by obedience ; he must choose meekness and lowliness of heart ; he must abandon strife for peace ; passion for purity ; hatred for love ; self-seeking for self-sacrifice, and must overcome evil with good.
This is the holy way of Truth ; this is the safe and abiding salvation ; this is the yoke and burden of the Christ.
Be as a flower; content to be, to grow
in sweetness day by day.
If thou would’st perfect thyself in
knowledge, perfect thyself in Love.
If thou would’st reach the Highest,
ceaselessly cultivate a loving and
compassionate heart.
To him who chooses Goodness,
sacrificing all, is given that which
is more than, and includes, all.
The Great Law never cheats any man of
his just due.
Human life, when rightly lived,
is simple with a beautiful simplicity.
He who comprehends the utter
simplicity of life, who obeys its laws,
and does not step aside into the dark
paths and complex mazes of selfish desire,
stands where no harm can reach him.
Then there is fullness of joy,
abounding plenty, and rich and
complete blessedness.
