Daily meditation, Apr. 30th: James Allen

Deliverance shall him entrance who strives with sifts and sorrows, tears and pains, till he attains.

APRIL THIRTIETH

BE not the slave of lusts and cravings and indulgences, of disappointments, miseries, and fears, doubts, and lamentations, but control thyself with calmness: master that in thee which masters others, and which heretofore has mastered thee: let not thy passions rule, but rule thy passions; subjugate thyself till passion is transmuted into peace, and wisdom crown thee; so shalt thou attain and, by attaining, know.

Look thou within. Lo! In the midst of change abides the Changeless; at the heart of strife The Perfect Peace reposes. At the root of all the restless striving of the world IS passion. Whoso follows passion findeth pain, but whoso conquers passion findeth peace.

I am ignorant, yet strive to know; nor will I cease to strive till I attain.
