Daily meditation, Apr. 25th: James Allen

Blessed is he who obeys the Truth, he shall not remain comfortless.

APRIL TWENTY - FIFTH

DISCIPLE: What are the greater and the lesser powers? Master: Hear me again, O Disciple! Walking faithfully the path of discipline and purification, not abandoning it, but submitting to its Austerities, thou wilt acquire the three lesser powers of discipleship; thou wilt also receive the three greater powers. And the greater and the lesser powers will render thee invincible. Self-control, Self-reliance, and Watchfulness—these are the three lesser powers. Steadfastness, Patience, Gentleness—these are the three greater powers. When thy mmd is wellcontrolled, and in thy keeping; when thou reliest upon no external aid, but upon Truth alone; and when thou art ceaselessly watchful over thy thoughts and actions—then thou wilt approach the Supreme Light.

Thy darkness will pass away for ever, and joy and light will wait upon thy footsteps.
