Pain, grief, sorrow, and misery are the fruits of which passion is the flower.
WHERE the passion-bound soul sees only injustice, the good man, he who has conquered passion, sees cause and effect, sees the Supreme Justice. It is impossible for such a man to regard himself as treated unjustly, because he has ceased to see injustice. He knows that no one can injure or cheat him, having ceased to injure or cheat himself. However passionately or ignorantly men may act towards him, it cannot possibly cause him any pain, for he knows that whatever comes to him (it may be abuse and persecution) can only come as the effect of what he himself has formerly sent out. He therefore regards all things as good, rejoices m all things, loves his enemies, blesses them that curse him, regarding them as the blind but beneficent instruments by which he is enabled to pay his moral debts to the Great Law.
The Supreme Justice and the Supreme Love are one.
To dwell in love always and towards all
is to live the true life, is to have Life itself.
Knowing this, the good man gives up
himself unreservedly to the Spirit of Love,
and dwells in Love towards all, contending
with none, condemning none, but loving
all.
The Christ Spirit of Love puts an
end, not only to all sin, but to all division
and contention.
When sin and self are abandoned, the heart
is restored to its imperishable Joy.
Joy comes and fills the self-emptied
heart; it abides with the peaceful; its reign
is with the pure.
Joy flees from the selfish, it deserts the
quarrelsome; it is hidden from the impure.
Joy cannot remain with the selfish; it is
wedded to Love.
