Daily meditation, Apr. 13th: James Allen

He who has realised the Love that is divine has become a new man.

APRIL THIRTEENTH

AND this Love, this Wisdom, this Peace, this tranquil state of mind and heart, may be attained to, may be realised, by all who are willing and ready to and who are prepared to humbly enter into a comprehension of all that the giving up of self involves. There is no arbitrary power in the universe, and the strongest chains of fate by which men are bound are self-forged.

Men are chained to that which causes suffering because they desire to be so, because they love their chains, because they think their little dark prison of self is sweet and beautiful, and they are afraid that if they desert that prison they will lose all that is real and worth having.

" Ye suffer from yourselves, none else compels, None other holds ye that ye live and die."

To the divinely wise, knowledge and Love are one and inseparable.
