Daily meditation, Feb. 9th: James Allen

Perfect Love is Perfect Power.

February ninth

THE wisely loving heart commands without exercising any authority. All things and all men obey him who obeys the Highest. He thinks, and lo ! He has already accomplished! He speaks, and behold! A world hangs upon his Simple utterances! He has harmonised his thoughts with the Imperishable and Unconquerable Forces, and for him weakness and uncertainty are no more. His every thought is a purpose; his every act an accomplishment; he moves with the Great Law, not setting his puny personal will against it, and he thus becomes a channel through which the Divine Power can flow in unimpeded and beneficent expression. He has thus become Power itself.

Perfect Love is Perfect Wisdom.

daily meditation, Feb. 8th: James Allen

Self-seeking is self-destruction

FEBRUARY EIGHTH

IF you would realise true prosperity, do not settle down, as many have done, into the belief that if you do right everything will go wrong. Do not allow the word competition to shake your faith in the supremacy of righteousness. I care not what man may say about the laws of competition, for do I not know the Unchangeable Law, which shall one day put them all to rout, and which puts them to rout even now in the heart and life of the righteous man? And knowing this Law I can contemplate all dishonesty with undisturbed repose, for I know where certain destruction awaits it. Those who have wandered from the highway of righteousness guard themselves against competition; those who always pursue the right need not to trouble about such defence.

Under all circumstances do that which you believe to be right, and trust the Law; trust the Divine Power, and you will always be protected.
